+the packets as those traverse the tables, chains, rules.

+A logging backend, such as ip(6)t_LOG or nfnetlink_log, must be loaded for this

+The packets are logged with the string prefix:
"TRACE: tablename:chainname:type:rulenum " where type can be "rule" for
plain rule, "return" for implicit rule at the end of a user defined chain
and "policy" for the policy of the built in chains.
