Linux kernel networking stack
I want to embark on journey of learning Linux networking stack. I want suggestions, what is best way to do this. Any book recommendation, any documentation which might exist. Thanks.
i have read TCP/IP Illustrated, volume 2 The implementation (Gary R. Wright and W. Richard Stevens). Its very illustrative, and shows how TCP/IP works of a very simple way. Unfortunately (for someone) Its about BSD TCP/IP stack. But could be interesting. Regards On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 3:12 PM, Abu Rasheda <rcpilot2010@gmail.com> wrote:

Understanding Linux networking internals by Christian Benvenuti is pretty good too. On Oct 11, 2011, at 3:23 PM, José Luis Segatto Junior <zuzesegatto@gmail.com> wrote:

I found "Understanding Linux Networking Internals" by Christian Benvenuti quite worth the read. Only problem, as with all Linux documentation, is that it gets out of date quickly and this book is now 5 years old. The Wright and Stevens book was excellent, but it had the advantage of describing a fairly static software release. Jeff Haran

The blow mentioned article is worth read along with the suggestions that are made already by the people . http://kernelnewbies.org/Networking?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=hacking_...

I'm currently referring "The Linux TCP/IP Stack: Networking for Embedded Systems - David H. Kaufman" . Though I haven't read the book completely but so far it seems to me that it provides a detailed information on most of the Networking data structures and APIs with lot of code snippet from e100 driver. Linux Networking subsystem is still evolving hence some of the references to the Linux Networking code is obsolete, but still i _think_ this might be a good read.
