How can I dnderstand Linux Network implementation?

How can I dnderstand Linux Network implementation?

[Donghui Wen]

I am hacking the implementation of linux2.4's 
networking (IPV4) . Can anyone give me some idea
what material I should read to understand the
data structures and algorithms. I have stevens's 
books which talked about BSD's implementation.

Thanks!

Print it all out

read the source code


I like the a2ps tool for formatting source code for reading;
I print out a sheaf of source code and retreat to a local coffee emporium
with a highlighter and a legal pad.

                                     2.4.0 seems faster than 2.2.16

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.
