jschauma's been doing this for a while: I took this course about 15 years ago! It was one of the two most challenging, rewarding courses in my undergrad degree. I still apply things I learned from it daily.

Highly, highly recommended if you want to work in SRE or system-focused programming.

Dan Duchamp's CS 521 TCP/IP Networking -- he had us implement low-level protocols like DNS and TCP/IP from scratch, in C. Brutal, but exceptionally rewarding.
