This looks like a really good resource, but why is it so difficult to find a somewhat up-to-date description of networking in the Linux kernel?
It seems like the least documented (at a high level, anyway) part of the kernel - if anyone knows a good resource I'd love to hear it.

- teleforce 4y agoThis probably the only book dedicated on the networking in the Linux kernel but maybe a bit outdated at the moment[1]. For general networking operation this new book looks promissing [2].
