You can look at the iptables manpage for detains on those other entries, but
in my opinion they really aren't terribly important. FWIW, what's important to
me is the time, source/dest ports/addresses, protocols, chain, and reason for
denial (which I provide from my rules).

That probably wasn't terribly helpful, but here is an answer for your second
question. You can look at the following links for information on various
internet things:

    protocol numbers:    http://www.iana.org/assignments/protocol-numbers
    port numbers:        http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
    icmp numbers:        http://www.iana.org/assignments/icmp-parameters
    multicast addresses: http://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses
    address spaces:      http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space

Hope that helps.
