Where a "capture device" is something like a switch that supports RMON,
so that:

...this means "collect packets going *through* the device whose IP is
10.1.9.65" (some of which could conceivably be generated by, or sent
directly to, that device, but not *all* of which are likely to be
generated by, or sent to, that device) rather than "collect packets
going to or from the end-node whose IP is 10.1.9.65"?
