Hi, I have asked the same question to super users. But I looks like I need help from experts. https://superuser.com/questions/1787416/nftables-how-to-stop-further-chain-traversal-after-accept-verdict Question is, If there are multiple tables (possibly owned by multiple teams/projects ), if a rule is accepted by one of the tables in the chain, how to stop looking into the next high priority chain. Right now my observation is ACCEPT just stops processing the current chain and jump to next table. If this is last table then only ACCEPT will work, otherwise this ACCEPT is useless. Logs are on SU post. Kindly correct me if I am wrong. Thank you, Tushar.
