  There isn't one.  Indeed, if you look at what the professional societies
  in our field think about networking you typically discover it buried in
  the syllabus for the OS course in their model curriculum.
  
  Incidentally, SIGCOMM is out to fix this glitch - we're looking to put
  together a team of volunteers to produce a model curriculum for networking.
  

don't overlook http://iec.caida.org

(sigcomm actually donated a bit to that project
a few years ago before NSF funded it)

best case would be (original intention was) to have a
commercial publisher take over and maintain 
some `living textbook/curriculum' sort of thing
but we've not gotten a lot of serious interest 
in that direction
