Much of the Android networking stack will be based on the linux network stack. Googling for "linux network stack" should provide some starting points. There's an oriley book on the linux kernel networking stack (available for free online), but it's fairly dated.. So this question isn't really that Android related, the specific parts of the network stack as it appeals to Android are things like the RIL (well, okay, that's not really network so much, telephony, but still worth reading about? Maybe not..) and frameworks (a la apache harmony), but the actual implementation is on top of linux...
