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?
cheers.

Its because of a accidental "C-x C-u' followed by "C-x C-l" to fix it.
cheers.

(And to answer the other two questions of Karim Sattar: 2. the code
between kernel and user interface are obviously different, 3. iptables
is not a daemon.)

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.
