Hi, Jaime, If you are interested in modern books about the implementation of the Linux network subsystem I can recommend about two books: 1) "Understanding Network Internals by Christian BenvenutI, 2005, http://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Network-Internals-Christian-Benvenuti/dp/0596002556. A bit outdated, but still part of it is relevant and well written. 2) Linux Kernel Networking - Implementation and Theory By Rami Rosen, 2014 http://www.apress.com/9781430261964 An up-to-date in depth book.
