Hey folks.

Do packets always traverse the chain in the 'mangle' table before they
traverse the corresponding chain in other tables?  In other words, is this
flow correct?...

...manglePREROUTING --> natPREROUTING...
...mangleINPUT --> filterINPUT...
...mangleOUTPUT --> natOUTPUT --> filterOUTPUT...
...mangleFORWARD --> filterFORWARD...
...manglePOSTROUTING --> natPOSTROUTING...

thanks
