Distinquish between Heard By, Hearing, Packet

Right clicking on stations shows the attached box. What is the distinction between Heard By, Hearing, and Packet, and what is each line showing?  I assume Packet is the Packet path.  Also, which of these stations Igated. Wiki indicates the station with the * is the igating station.   Paul W0PGH-10

HeardBy: the path component that is first used in a parsed packet.  This would be the station (or alias) that likely hears the station direct.  If no components are used, then the iGate likely copied the station direct.

Hearing: all stations whose packets have been heard by the station you're looking at.   This may include digipeated packets, I'm not sure without looking at the source.

Packet: the path of the most recent packet copied from that station.

PS.   When looking at some of these pop-up text dialogs, a Control-C (for Copy) will put the text into the clipboard instead of capturing an image of the window.  Control-C when a map has focus will copy the image into the clipboard.
