## Description:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`net.conv` provides a convenient way to convert number values *to*,
|
||
|
|
and *from* the network byte order format (which is always big endian).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When communicating across a network, it is possible that the machines
|
||
|
|
use different byte orders, since the host format of each system can
|
||
|
|
vary, depending on the CPU, and on most systems, is usually
|
||
|
|
little endian.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To avoid mismatches due to that, the network byte order is used by
|
||
|
|
convention to send network data in a manner that will be received
|
||
|
|
coherently, regardless of the endianness of the sender system and
|
||
|
|
the receiver system.
