TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview
"The TCP/IP protocol suite has become the de facto standard for computer communications in today's networked world. The ubiquitous implementation of a specific networking standard has led to an incredible dependence on the applications enabled by it. Today, we use the TCP/IP protocols and the Internet not only for entertainment and information, but to conduct our business by performing transactions, buying and selling products, and delivering services to customers. We are continually extending the set of applications that leverage TCP/IP, thereby driving the need for further infrastructural support. In TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview, we take an in-depth look into the TCP/IP protocol suite. In Part I, we introduce TCP/IP, providing a basic understanding of the underlying concepts essential to the protocols. We continue our discussion in Part II with a survey of today's most popular TCP/IP application protocols, including emerging wireless and multimedia applications. Finally, in Part III, we cover advanced concepts and the latest infrastructural trends in networking, including IPv6, security, Quality of Service, IP mobility, and MPLS. We address the challenges that TCP/IP is currently facing and the technology being developed to overcome them."

A fair SNA substitute
TCP/IP Tutorial and Technical Overview (IBM Redbook) explains Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
Includes:
Understand networking fundamentals of the TCP/IP protocol suite
Introduces advanced concepts and new technologies
Includes the latest TCP/IP protocols
It is from December 2006 and may be a bit dated.
It is a very practical book and quite details with plenty of graphs.
It assumes you are aware of many other network protocols. However, it slows down to explain things like the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.
Nothing is obsolete so you can get a book base for further study.
