The first three chapters look promising!
When sailing through the computer network topic, my great companion was Tanenbaum's and Richard Stevens's book. Although, I have to be honest that if I only read that book without exposure to the real-world problem, I might quit computer networks many years ago.
My two cents for the rest of the chapters would be: to make sure to provide a real-world problem and example in which anyone could have access to them. In my case, I had the privilege to build a real network (10k users) with FreeBSD as the router, proxy, DNS, mail, etc. With all the tooling available today, one can easily acquire these swiss army knives for networking. Sure, tooling comes and goes, but at least it can provide better abstractions to the students. At least it worked for me.
