"Request/response fields" in the sense of "fields used to match requests and responses" (such as ONC RPC XIDs), or "request/response fields" in the sense of "for a {request,response}, the frame number of the corresponding {response,request}"?  If the latter, presumably you mean using FT_REQUEST_RESPONSE (or perhaps FT_MATCHING_REQUEST and FT_MATCHING_RESPONSE) rather than FT_FRAMENUM.
