	Things become clearer with a different conceptual model.

	You're monitoring traffic at an interface.  The interface
	is where a device (router, switch, etc) is connected to
	a network.  Traffic flows IN to the device from the network,
	and OUT to the network from the device.

	If you have a device sitting between two networks, you have
	two interfaces to choose from, but "IN" always means "into
	the device", and "OUT" the opposite.
