This is why I stay on HN. This is such a niche, interesting subject that I never would have found otherwise. I’ve been looking for networking resource that go in depth on things like this, rather than just configuring and setting up equipment. Does anyone know anything like this? I’m especially interested in ones for telecommunications networking technology.

Please check this book "Computer Networking : A Top-Down Approach" By Kurose & Ross. It is the best textbook on computer networking, bar none. The latest edition also covers modern networking concepts, for example Software Defined Networks (SDN).

  The Kurose/Ross textbook is also a favourite of mine. Consider checking out https://book.systemsapproach.org/index.html https://book.systemsapproach.org/index.html as a free alternative as well. The authors develop the book, as well as a few micro-books on topics like SDN, 5G, TCP congestion control, on github: https://github.com/SystemsApproach https://github.com/SystemsApproach They also have a blog with regular updates: https://www.systemsapproach.org/blog https://www.systemsapproach.org/blog And if you're curious about the motivation behind the project, they have a whitepaper: Open Source Networking Education: A Systems Approach - https://www.systemsapproach.org/uploads/4/7/7/4/47748257/sigcomm_edu.pdf https://www.systemsapproach.org/uploads/4/7/7/4/47748257/sig...

HPBN (High-Performance Browser Networking) is excellent. I can vouch for the print edition I bought a couple years ago, and the companion website gets updates: https://hpbn.co https://hpbn.co Also, today thanks to this thread I discovered https://book.systemsapproach.org https://book.systemsapproach.org and can already recommend it.
