One theoritical question: imagine I would like to give a hand on the man pages, who should I contact?
Well, the maintainer of respective utility/ies + proper devel mailing list. Note, that tc, ip, ss - things related to iproute2 in general - belong to netdev, not netfilter-devel. Similary user questions about iproute2 -> net, not netfilter. AFAIK. Don't remove CC entries either.
As for docs in general, be sure to peek over: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Net http://ace-host.stuart.id.au/russell/files/tc/doc/ http://b42.cz/notes/u32_classifier/ http://www.stearns.org/doc/iptables-u32.v0.1.7.html (note that negative offsets don't work though) http://jengelh.medozas.de/images/nf-packet-flow.png http://marc.info/?l=lartc&m=117569441229800&w=2 (basic matches) http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=120180241422360&w=2 (external hashing, for sfq mainly) doc subdirectory of iproute2 Documentation[/networking] subdirectory of kernel tree book: "Understanding Linux Network Internals" http://www.policyrouting.org/PolicyRoutingBook/ONLINE/TOC.html http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~istoica/hfsc-tr.ps.gz ( depending on gs version, you might need: sed "s|\[FontBBox\]|/FontBBox load |" ) http://www.sonycsl.co.jp/~kjc/software/TIPS.txt (*BSD oriented, still interesting tidbits) Some of the above will feel pretty heavy. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
