Subject: Empty Target

Message-ID: <498cb439.20018e0a.3be8.ffffc9e3@mx.google.com> (raw)

I am trying to troubleshoot an iptables rule set, trying to understand where
different packets are going. I have found that using "iptables -L -v" is a
useful tool, with the counters telling me what's going on.
To "trigger" counters I currently use LOG rules. I would actually prefer
some sort of empty rule; a rule that would do nothing beyond increasing the
counters.

Does something like that exist ?
Seems trivial to implement.
