Briefly, ipchains is a packet filter built into the kernel. this has
three main chains:
input
output 
forward
Additionally, users can define their own chains.
Packets coming into the network interface of your system are directed to
the input chain. There you have a set of rules which will either allow
the packet to go through, or stop it. After the input chain is crossed,
it will go to either the forward or output chain, where a different
ruleset can be applied.

for further details, please read the ipchains HOWTO and man ipchains.
