The Network is big-endian (network byte order).


That's just a data serialization format, there are zillions of those. The important thing is the endianness of the CPU.


You are the one that brought up CPU architectures. Except for the now aging S390/z that will probably last in a few installations forever and the 5 people that pay to run POWER workstations the world is little endian.
