Endianness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, endianness is the byte (and sometimes bit) ordering used to represent some kind of data. Typical cases are the order in which integer values are stored as bytes in computer memory (rel...

So that machines with different byte order conventions can communicate, the Internet protocols specify a canonical byte order convention for data transmitted over the network. This is known as network byte order.

Network byte order is the standard used in packets sent over the internet. It is big-endian (except that technically it refers to the order in which bytes are transmitted, not the order in which they are stored).

The multibyte integer representation used by the TCP/IP protocols is sometimes called network byte order. ... Even if the computers at each end are little endian, multibyte integers passed between them must be converted to network byte order prior to transmission across the network, and converted back to little endian at...

Architectures, processors, network stacks, and communication protocols all have to define endianness at some point. This article explains how endianness affects code, how to determine endianness at run time, and how to write code that can reverse byte order and free you from being bound to a certain endian.

This subroutine converts values between the host and network byte order. Specifically, htons() converts 16-bit quantities from host byte order to network byte order. ... htons() returns network byte order of hostshort.

htonl, htons, ntohl, ntohs - convert values between host and network byte order ... These routines convert 16 and 32 bit quantities between network byte order and host byte order. On machines which have a byte order which is the same as the network order, routines are defined as null macros.

A.4.8 Host and Network Byte Order ... In some network implementations, there may be no single absolute root directory; see pathname resolution. ... Many East Asian languages, including Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, do not distinguish case and are sometimes encoded in character sets that use more than one byte per character.
