I'll also recommend the work of W. Richard Stevens: TCP/IP Illusstrated, V1 and 2 (Addison Wesley); and Unix Network Programming, 2nd Ed, V1. The former deals with the protocol definitions (V1) and a code walkthrough of the BSD 'lite' IP stack code (V2); the latter deals with network programming from an application/utility point of view, is very detailed, and full of interesting insights.
