TCP is harder than it looks

I've to confess I've quite limited knowledge with TCP/IP stack internals, e.g. the way stack extensions work et cetera.

Does anyone know of any available online visual materials/tutorials? I'm particularly searching for tools capable of recording and replaying TCP/IP stack packets with visual representation, references to RFCs and specifications.

Doug Comer's "Internetworking with TCP IP" volumes 1&2. Walks you through the protocol suite along with the implementation of a simple stack in C.

Richard Steven's "TCP/IP Illustrated" books are the original works, Unix network programming at its finest. More advanced than Comer's book, and much more applicable. Get used, older editions if cheaper, you will be fine.

Coursera and stanford mooc helped me understand networking deeper, you might try to apply.
