| (networking) | network byte order - The order in which the bytes of a multi-byte
number are transmitted on a network - most significant byte
first (as in "big-endian" storage). This may or may not
match the order in which numbers are normally stored in memory
for a particular processor. http://www.sun.com/realitycheck/headsup980803.html. http://www.hp.com/unixwork/whatsnew/fyi/bissue/aug98/article3.htm. |
