Nftables Base Chain Policies
This is the default verdict that will be applied to packets reaching the end of the chain (i.e, no more rules to be evaluated against). Currently there are 2 policies:
accept
this verdict means that the packet will keep traversing the network stack.
drop
this verdict means that the packet is discarded if the packet reaches the end of the base chain.
