But if you start getting into NAT and load balancers, it's essential
knowledge.

One natural way to characterize the ones that aren't fully stable is 
to review the drafts and RFCs by the IETF Working Group: 
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/wg-dir.html

Now, you won't find old and stable things there like basic IPv4.

You may also find exceptionally valuable drafts.  For example, the 
current draft 20 of the revision to the BGP specification, RFC 1771, 
is a far better picture of real-world BGP than is 1771.
