Access to the wiki is restricted, so I write here. On this page https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Jumping_to_chain and also in the nft(8), document the possibility of creating anonymous chains when using `jump` and `goto` statements. The most basic example is this table inet doc { chain inbound { type filter hook input priority filter; policy accept counter jump { counter accept } counter goto { counter accept } } } The commit which implements the functionality is c330152b7f7779f15dba3e0862bf5616e7cb3eab
