Could you give me some more information, please.  Is this for all host
pairs or is it just the totals?  What OS are you using, and what command
line are you using?

The totals are based on the direction in which packets are moving over
the host computer's inferface (or across the specified network
boundary).  If iftop cannot determine this direction, it will treat all
packets as incoming for the purposes of totals.
