Hello, Thanks for your answer, my question is why when I read from the buffer data is already in host byte order and not in network byte order. Thanks Pietro Paolini.
Hi Pietro, The host doesn't care how the data has travelled over wire, he will store that data in memory according to it's own hardware architecture. As an application programmer, __you__ have to take care of this and to make your job easier, you already have those ntoh* hton* APIs or your POSIX compliant OS. -Amit
