netfilter after about (linux kernel) 2.4.x (or 2.6.x?) [1] can put SNAT into hook NF_IP_LOCAL_IN.
However, official docs(including 'man') doesn't change, so far.
It's hard to me to write something correctly and precisely in English.
Would someone improve the docs please?
ps: Maybe add some descriptions about 'where did the de-SNAT and de-DNAT processes placed.' is a good idea.
