A good place to start reading code is nmap_main in nmap.cc. Follow it
through until you see the code you want to analyze; for example
ultra_scan is the main port scanning function. IPv6 work will probably
also require changing libnetutil/netutil.cc.

Make sure to read these pages:
        http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/home/google/gsoc2011/nmap
        http://nmap.org/soc/
        http://nmap.org/soc/GeneralRequirements.html
        http://nmap.org/soc/apply.html

I'm suggesting to IPv6 applicants that they read and comment on the
program here:
        svn co --username guest --password "" svn://svn.insecure.org/nmap-exp/david/ipv6
