Hello,

I am new to all that packet filtering stuff. I read the iptbales
man-page and the packet filtering howto. In the last one I saw a nice
picture:

  Incoming                 /     \         Outgoing
         -->[Routing ]--->|FORWARD|------->
            [Decision]     \_____/        ^
                 |                        |
                 v                       ____
                ___                     /    \
               /   \                 |OUTPUT|
              |INPUT|                  \____/
               \___/                      ^
                 |                        |
                  ----> Local Process ----

Where are the mangle chains PREROUTING and OUTPUT located in this
picture? The PREROUTING chain should be between "Incoming" and "Routing
decision", right? Where is the mangle OUTPUT chain located? After the
normal OUTPUT?

Regards
	Steffen
