This is probably the most complete and in depth theoretical approach to Computer Networks book you can buy.
The structure of this book is based mainly on the OSI Reference Model which is divided in 7 different layers. Each chapter in the book is dedicated to a layer, in this way, one can get an insight of a broad variety of subjects such as IEEE standards(Ethernet, Token Ring, etc, ), Congestion control and routing Algorithms, network and transport layer protocols(IP, TCP and UDP) and many more topics.
As a complement you should read Richard Stevens TCP/IP Illustrated, volume 1 for a more practical approach to TCP, UDP and IP.
The best book for beginner, intermediate and advanced users.
