Public Sticky notes
One of the greatest features of the Linux® operating system is its networking
stack. It was initially a derivative of the BSD stack and is well organized with
a clean set of interfaces. Its interfaces range from the protocol agnostics,
such as the common sockets layer interface or the device layer, to the specific
interfaces of the individual networking protocols. This article explores the
structure of the Linux networking stack from the perspective of its layers and
also examines some of its major structures.
