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!
