Android vs Linux (Network Stack)

[Ehtasham]

hi everybody,
Im working on Android wifi security. I want to know how much Aandroid
kernel is different from Linux kernel with respect to its network
stack. please reply in detail and if possible suggest me some specific
resources (not coding level).

to its network stack" and "not coding level"

Paradox :) !

i need to know the difference between "Android kernel Network stack" and "Linux kernel Network Stack". I found that they have changed some files in the Android kernel related to "Management of TCP Network" but no more detail is provided. so, please tell me what exactly they have changed and refer me some sources.

You can see exactly what they have changed, in those files and in the
diff between the source and the kernel.org sources.

That's the best detail there is, what more do you want?

thanks,

What are the specific architecture differences between the Linux and
Android network stack, and where are the specific and most current
docs describing the specific changes?

Also, docs describing specifically any performance/throughput changes
and enhancements if any between Linux and the Android network stack?

Finally issues and work being done to enhance the Android network
stack to enhance performance for video streaming?

Specific and most current architecture docs rather than simply go look
at the diff is the request.
