The book TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2, by W. Richard Stevens (and Gary
R. Wright) explaines allmost all (IP) networking code of Net/3,
(i.e. 4.4BSD-Lite) 
FreeBSD is based on that.

The book is quite good, it includes lost of code and explains all
lines. (about 1100 pages) Also explains the structure.

Also has a chapter about mbufs


Hope this helps
