Synopsis:

Divided into two sections, code and commentary, a valuable resource discusses Linux networking support at the source code level; covers the Linux network stack and code, from the General Network Layer to the Device Drivers Layer; and addresses Linux architecture, Transport Control Protocol (TCP), and more. Original. (Intermediate).

From the Author: Linux moves quickly, so book updates will be on the Web
The book is an in-depth look at the TCP/IP protocol as implemented in the Linux Operation System. Using the style of John Lion's original much-photocopied A Commentary on the Unix Operating System, Linux IP Stacks Commentary guides you through the ins and outs of TCP, UDP, ICMP, routing, IPCHAIN firewallcode, and the Linux TCP/IP applications interface. The source for the network code is included in the book and on the CD-ROM.

This book took over a year to produce, and Linux moves much, much faster than that. To keep the book up to date, the authors are building a second edition to the book on the Web.
