You don’t mention which language you’re programming in. If you’re using C or C++, there are functions like
htons,htonl,ntohs,ntohland more to standardize network data elements into a transportable format. This guide (among many others) will tell you how to write network portable code so differences in endianness will not bite you in the @ss.
