Internetworking with TCP/IP Volume 1 by Douglas E Comer

A classic book that describes TCP/IP stack. Some of the chapters I covered this time are
9. Internet Protocol: Error and Control Messages (ICMP)
12. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
13. Reliable Stream Transport Service (TCP)
20. Private Network Interconnection (NAT, VPN)
21. Client-Server Model of Interaction
22. The Socket Interface
23. Bootstrap and Autoconfiguration (BOOTP, DHCP)
24. The Domain Name System (DNS)
Various TCP/UDP app such as TELNET, Rlogin, FTP, TFTP, NFS, SMTP, POP, IMAP, MIME, HTTP, RTP and SNMP. Also it covers IPSEC and IPv6. Mostly covered topics related to layer-4 and above.
The reason why TCP/IP is so popular and successful is because of the selection of applications available on top it.
