I'm planning on doing Systems Approach networking after OSTEP, using Princeton COS 461 as my baseline. Here's my current outline:
Books: Computer Networks: A Systems Approach
Projects: Princeton University COS 461: Computer Networks
Extra material:

• Beej's Guide to Networking
• Design Philosophy of the DARPA Internet Protocols

Course page

There is a COS 461 youtube playlist as well, but it is based on a version of the course that uses the Top-Down Approach, and it seems to be structured very differently. However, it might be useful for covering some of the lecture material that doesn't have readings.
