Q:when ip6tables should be used instead of iptables ?

This question may  be sound trivial, of course when dealing with IPv6 addresses ip6tables is appropriate.

But if I have machine with dual IPv4/IPv6 stack , does it mean that netfilter have separate set of tables/chains for IPv4 and IPv6 so I need to have  2 set of commands to protect for example from syn flooding ?

Or in another terms which of iptable command are IPv4/v6 neutral?
