Short description about the linux network buffers (skb's)

1. Introduction

At the time I wanted to know more about the Linux network stack, I always wanted a document like this to exist. But unfortunately I never found one. After I gained some basic knowledge about the Linux network stack internals, I wrote one.

I'm happy if this document is of any use for other people trying to learn about the Linux kernel.

Please let me know of any bugs in this document. It should resemble kernel revision 2.4.0-test4

For more, please download here skb.rtf (61,30 kb) 

Let me know by comment if you have more better reference .. thx
