It's all on the RFCs >(http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html) or other good network book. My suggestion is better to go through books in learning/starting stage, because RFC takes much time/complex to understand. And start practical's with packet Sniffer/Generator programs parallel to analyze the L2/L3/L4 headers. For practical: UNIX Network Programming by Richard Stevens. For Theory of Network basics: "Internetworking with TCP/IP By Douglas Comer".(for getting knowledge on Layers headers, protocols). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
