Unless stated otherwise, it's pretty safe to assume that all "on the wire" data mentioned in an RFC is in 'network byte order'. That's why hton*() and ntoh*() functions exist... Is there something in the RFC that suggests that a byte order other than 'network order' is possible/acceptable there? --==_Exmh_1159146463_16795P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFFFyvfcC3lWbTT17ARAsOTAKDec+tjKGbWpGug29jg4SmPmkT02QCgumNE f5rOne55cvmC3bawERalwlc= =K3FP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1159146463_16795P-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
