+chains, and user-defined chains which are only called from those
+chains. It redirects the packet to the machine itself by changing the
+destination IP to the primary address of the incoming interface
+(locally-generated packets are mapped to the localhost address,
+127.0.0.1 for IPv4 and ::1 for IPv6).
