Ip_dst is not set anywhere, it is retrieved from the IP packet header
received from the remote station. If both ip_src and ip_dst are the
same, this means that the same interface was sending and answering
the requests.

If you wish a more detailed analisis, please supply some more
information about your test, at least the exact invocation of ping and
the first several lines of its output. Also, the information about the
interfaces on the source machine.
