RTP in itself has no forward and reverse direction, the sessions are totally independent. What binds them is the context in which they are used. For instance, in a VoIP call it's the initiators' end point that is usually tagged as producing the forward stream.

So what is the forward stream in Wireshark RTP analysis depends on what you select as such.
