I really like this textbook that was used in my undergrad networking course.

The “perspective” sections at the end of every chapter are really interesting!

Was about to post this as well.

I think these two articles are also a great launch point before diving into the whole stack:

- https://apenwarr.ca/log/20170810 The World in Which IPv6 was a good design (which is actually a mini CS history course on networking in disguise)

- https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/
