Thank you Nick, I'm just getting started with linux kernel development
and have been looking around for books both more general and specific
to networking. One thing in common several books I've found have is
that they are based on the 2.6 version of the kernel (or older). Some
parts have changed but are entire chapters in the above mentioned
books too old to make sense when working on version linux kernel 4.1
and beyond?
