So for example I have the same rules on v4 and v6 on INPUT and FORWARD matching MAC addresses, interestingly only ipv4's counters are <> 0. (I know about ebtables.) So I guess the order is v4 INPUT then v6, after that v4 FORWARD then v6 - for example? And yes, I can't wait for nftables to go live...
