Hi,

A document with this heading can be found for 2.4 network stack. But i have not found any document regarding 2.6 network stack.

When i was searching netfilter mailing list archive, i got the following post :

http://lists.netfilter.org/pipermail/netfilter/2007-august/069583.html

in this post author mentioned about a document named after this. but does not gave any link to that document.

so i'm wondering if any similar document can be found?

You've got Linux Networking internals.

It's pretty think, but it provides some panoramic. As kernel code evolves quite quickly, you may find that some things have changed, but it's a good base to start with if you're looking for an alternative to reading pure code.

Hi Pablo, I have a scanned pdf of Linux kernel internals. But i stopped reading when i found out struct sk_buff does not have a member struct sk_buff_head * list like the book mentioned. It turns out its removed in 2.6.14/15 series where the book references a earlier code. On the plus side this made me set up cscope in my emacs. So i guess i should thank the book for this. Cheers.
