However you might find the following a good starting point; 1) Understanding the Linux Network Internals by Christian Benvenuti. 2) Linux Kernel Networking: Implementation and Theory by Rami Rosen. 3) The documentation in Linux Kernel itself and its various Howtos.

For general networking operation this new book looks promissing [2].
