This document provides an introduction and overview of the networking code in the Linux kernel source tree. It discusses the different layers including link (L2), network (L3), and transport (L4) layers. It describes the input and output processing, device interfaces, traffic directions, and major developers for each layer. Config and benchmark tools are also mentioned. Resources for further learning about the Linux kernel networking code are provided at the end.
