I think you're getting confused here about the difference between chains and
tables.
Chains are normally named in uppercase; standard ones are INPUT, OUTPUT,
PREROUTING, POSTROUTING, FORWARD. User-defined chains can of course be
added.
Tables are normally named in lowercase; standard ones are filter, nat, mangle.
Adding a user-defined table is quite a significant programming task, and not
to be assumed in a reasonably standard configuration of netfilter :)
The 'filter' table should exist in any healthy netfilter install.
