Save yourself the headache.
Despite the fact that it is based on the 2.2 network core, the Coriolis book Linux IP Stacks was a good book of source code to scip to parts of the code which was related to my interests. It may be a little different now, with the iptables rework, but besides that, it is a good introduction to the implementation of the low level protcols.
