The pcap format does not provide means to store the direction of a packet (or the interface on which it was captured). 
So when using pcap files, you will have to filter by mac-addresses and/or IP addresses. This does however mean you have 
to know the topology of the network.

In pcap-ng, I think there is the possibility to store interface and direction information. But AFAIK this has not been 
implemented in Wireshark yet (pcap-ng support is slowly increasing in Wireshark).

Hope this helps,
