There is also another very nice three set book called the "Handbook of
Computer Communications Standards" by William Stallings.  It is available
from the MacMillan Book Club (1-800-257-8345 - sorry, no address handy).

Volume 1 covers the OSI interconnection model and osi-related standards

Volume 2 covers local network standards

Volume 3 covers the DOD protocol standards

It sounds like volume 3 would help you (although there is much to be learned
from the other volumes)

I hope this has helped!
