I may recommend the following textbook: Fred Halsall Data Communications, Computer Networks and OSI Addison-Wesley 1988 Make sure you get 1988 edition -black&blue hardcover. It is >500 pages of which more than half is about OSI. Has very good diagrams. IMHO it is now the best textbbook in data comms. It is by a British author so may not be so popular in the USA.
