[CentOS] iptables-save: INPUT DROP [26:8260]

Hello, why does iptables-save print 2 numbers in square brackets? Is it used for anything? Is it number of inspected packets (and what's the other number then)? And what does *filter mean? Thank you Alex $ sudo iptables-save # Generated by iptables-save v1.3.5 on Tue Dec 2 23:53:56 2008
