I will take care of that, yes.

While matching the direction is probably a no-brainer (just checking
a field), I would be interested in how "direction" is actually defined.
Does the first packet in a NEW ct dictate the direction? What values
does a direction have - north, south, left, right?
I did not name "inbound" and "outbound" on purpose, because routers
do not have an "in" or "out" side like most consumer desktop boxes.
