In the filter table of iptables, three basic chains are mentioned: INPUT, OUTPUT, and FORWARD. Can you explain the role of each of these chains and how they relate to incoming, outgoing, and routed packets, respectively? Describe the packet-processing sequence for incoming packets from both network interfaces and local processes, as illustrated in the provided flowcharts.]]> 4.
