How to learn linux network stacks source code

Recently, one of my work is to write network stacks using C++ in an OS developed by my team which is totally different from linux. However, I think how a deep understanding of linux network stacks may be helpful to design and implementation a well one.

Any advice or helpful material?

LwIP or UIP, both originally by Adam Dunkels. Particularly LwIP - they are small, and well documented, and have been ported to embedded devices. It would take a lot of work to try and learn from BSD / Linux network stack source code.
