Hi Suvani,
Thanks for the advice. I felt that way too. I have been gathering some
info about the good books, but for linux networking, there really isn't
one single place where you can gather good info. What I have been doing is
reading up stuff on the 4.4 BSD implementation (Richard Stevens TCP/IP
illustrated Vol2) and then going through the IP Stacks book. It is slow
progress, but I guess it's worth the effort!
I have seen the paper you mentioned, but even that is too basic, though it
is a good read!
Thanks again,
Hari
