If there is such a document (and I doubt it) it is awfully well hidden. I suspect that the only documentation is the kernel code itself.

No document will deal with such details. However, the following links may help:<br />

<br />
Also, the book &quot;The Linux TCP/IP Stack: Networking for Embedded Systems&quot; based on a 2.6 kernel may contain valuable information.<br />

could anyone suggest an online resource which clearly explains linux networking source code and specificaly source code for tcp/ip implementation.<br />
<br />
I need to understand what does the following mss stand for in tcp_opt :<br />
<br />
mss_cache, mss_clamp, user_mss, advmss!<br />
<br />

Linux tcp/ip stack implementation

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.
