Only one table is used, regardless of how many tables and/or chains you 
have.  Everything goes into that one table.  Having separate tables, one 
for each chain, wouldn't be of much use (than you couldn't match 
incoming and outgoing packets of single connection, unless you traverse 
all those tables which is just the same as having one table).
