Ask HN: What books or websites are good for learning about networks?

I took a networking class in college and I remember high level concepts of basic topics but wanted to refresh my memory on the rest of the topics. Things like DNS, subnets, CIDR, various protocols (unicast, multicast, etc) and other similar topics.

I'm using these two. The Tanenbaum book has a 6th edition, and I think the Top Down one has some newer editions as well. Not sure if they're the best, although they do seem relatively thorough, especially Tanenbaum.
