Computer Networking (?) by Andrew Tanenbaum -
if you are looking for theoritical stuff like routing-tables,
packet transmission, etc.
Internetworking with TCP/IP by Douglas Comer -
good for conceptual understanding of TCP/IP and related protocols
with light duty material on NFS and YP. ( A good text called UNIX
networking by Kochan is also available, for light reading. )
UNIX Networking by Stevens -
this takes you to code level details of RPC implementation and
socket usage. i have found this newly published text exceedingly
informative and helpful for the hands-on stuff, which is what i
am primarily involved with.
For UUCP and 'cu' like stuff I have found the ref. manuals more helpful
than the texts published on UNIX communications, etc.
Hope this helps.
