The following code is excerpted from in6addr.h in Windows SDK:
//
// IPv6 Internet address (RFC 2553)
// This is an 'on-wire' format structure.
//
typedef struct in6_addr {
union {
UCHAR Byte[16];
USHORT Word[8];
} u;
} IN6_ADDR, *PIN6_ADDR, FAR *LPIN6_ADDR;
I’m not a native English developer. So please forgive me for asking a stupid-looking question:
What is it exactly meant by “This is an ‘on-wire‘ format structure.”
It means that it describes how the information looks like when transmitted.
