Those variables use the same definitions as the traffic expiration requirements of the drafts. They should therefore be the amount of data protected/serviced/etc. by the security service. This means the user's packet (or portion after the IP header in transport mode) plus any padding requirements etc.
From your example, I would make that mean after for inbound and before for outbound.
