open("/proc/net/dev", O_RDONLY) = 6
open("/proc/net/if_inet6", O_RDONLY) = 6
open("/proc/net/if_inet6", O_RDONLY) = 6
open("/proc/net/if_inet6", O_RDONLY) = 6

ls -al /proc/<pid>fd for a particular process give:
>ls -al /proc/2187/fd

registration of /proc happened when /proc is being initialized and created:
fs/proc/root.c:proc_root_init()
and the function for network is proc_net_init() inside fs/proc/proc_net.c.
