[1] http://inai.de/images/nf-packet-flow.png Ah yeah, thanks, I forgot about this picture. But where does ip6tables fit in here? Does it first run through the whole netfilter stack as in [1], and then for v6, or is it doing it in some mixed way: 1) mangle PREROUTING v4 2) mangle PREROUTING v6 3) mangle INPUT v4 4) mangle INPUT v6 5) filter INPUT v4 6) filter INPUT v6 and so on (I skipped NAT... as there is no v6 NAT (haha - I know)). (It is late here and I am tired and I just can't remember why I needed to know that.)
