Asking for some book recommendations

[tiger717]

Hi,

I would like to buy two books (or maybe even more? ) about the following two topics:

• Network/Internet Design and Theory. The book should go into detail about the different OSI layers and explain the corresponding protocols. It should contain implementation examples, but does not have to into great detail about that. It should cover general design problems and possible solutions one has to make for topics such as choosing a protocol for a certain application and the creation of new protocols. Information about history would be nice. I am basically searching for the "Modern Operating Systems"/"Operating Systems: Design and Implementation" (both by Andrew S. Tanenbaum) equivalent for Networking. (Tanenbaum seems to have written "Distributed Systems", but the book was rated badly in Amazon) The book should be fairly new (include recent developments) and should contain sections about security, e.g. IPsec/TLS.
• Internet Security. The book should explain Internet Security (also in the direction of anonymization networks such as Tor). I don't think I can really get more specific about that.

Feel free to tell me about any interesting books you have in your shelves and what you would recommend me. (If you have books more generally about Networking, please tell me about them, too!)

Really looking forward to your replies,

Ah, dammit, you can never search enough

Edit: While AST's "Computer Networks" is perfectly fine, the wiki does not recommend any books about internet security, so that question remains open.
