For IP:

Dave,

As a long-time editor of two journals that covered (and in the case of
IPJ continues to cover) networking topics, could I refer your readers
to a couple of sources for textbook alternatives:

1. The ConneXions archive:

http://www.cbi.umn.edu/hostedpublications/Connexions/index.html

Many of these articles are in fact BOOK EXTRACTS taken from major
networking text at the time (1987 - 1996)

2. The Internet Protocol Journal (1998 -   )

http://www.cisco.com/ipj

Continues to cover current and emerging networking technologies. Some
of the articles in IPJ are also taken from networking textbooks.

Both sources are free (both from advertising and in the commercial
sense), both are suitable for students, in fact instructors often ask
me for reproduction permission which I always grant.
