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.

Consider checking out 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
They also have a blog with regular updates: 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/sig...

Don’t be afraid to study the source code if you’re curious about the inner workings of a system. Best of luck!
Also, today thanks to this thread I discovered https://book.systemsapproach.org and can already recommend it.
