- where to start coding & reading
The network layer consists of multiple parts, e.g. connection handling,
routing, queues, drivers, ... Each has its own issues. The area which
interests you is a good point to start. If you do not know what these parts
do and what their limits are, you can start with some experiments, e.g.:
- turn a sniffer on and try to find out the purpose of the fields
- play around with hping
- play around with netem and other qdiscs and how performance is influenced
by various settings
- do some of the things described at "linux advanced routing and traffic
control"
