What does the [xxx:yyyy] part of the iptables script mean?

Hi,

Inside my /etc/sysconfig/iptables file I've got:

Code:
*nat
:PREROUTING ACCEPT [391:49336]
:POSTROUTING ACCEPT [1793:110951]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [1793:110951]
COMMIT

*filter
:INPUT DROP [0:0]
:FORWARD DROP [0:0]
:OUTPUT ACCEPT [1418:147349]
What does the [###:#####] stuff mean?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

They are generated when the command iptables-save is executed and they mean:

[ # of packets that have passed through this chain : # of bytes that have passed through this chain ]
