I doubt there is a book wich explains all from A to Z. Maybe this is not the intent, anyway. The OP must find his own level of knowledge and aquire the proper book. Otherwise it will be just a waste of time full of frustration. I was reading Illustrated TCP/IP by R.W. Stevens for example and I was not able to understand it fully. I miss some tcp/ip basic explanations and those very basic bits are not in that book. For me it was something like many RFCs put together. I am not saying this is a bad book, just is not suitable for me at my current level of tcp/ip. For sure it will be very useful later. Advices are welcome.
