Save yourself the headache.

Despite the fact that it is based on the 2.2 network core, the Coriolis book
Linux IP Stacks was a good book of source code to scip to parts of the code
which was related to my interests. It may be a little different now, with the
iptables rework, but besides that, it is a good introduction to the
implementation of the low level protcols.
