/sbin/iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp \

--dport 10000:20000 -j MARK --set-mark 21

'MARK' is just the name of a custom chain that you or someone created. Anything matching that criteria will be sent to the MARK chain for further handling.

I'd recommend naming things better, or renaming it once you understand what that chain does.
