So I am doing a lot of high performance network programming using Boost::Asio (or just Asio if you will), and have a pretty solid grasp of the essentials of both TCP and UDP protocols. I am wondering though, because I still don't consider myself an expert in networking despite my knowledge, what is a good way to frame the essentials of what networking programmers should know, especially for those trying to push the performance of their large networking based applications?

There is a great essay on programmers and what they should know about memory (see below), so I'm wondering if someone has put together something similar for networking.
