[Algorithms] Network & byte order.

[Lionel F. <li...@mi...>]

Hello,

(I hope my question is not too much OT)

We are designing our network libraries, for our next games. We would like to
produce cross-platfom games, with misc processors targets.

In the case of multi-platform network game, we wonder if we have to consider
the byte-ordering of the platforms... Intel is little-endian, whereas Apple
(Motorola) is beg-endian.
Anybody can tell us what platforms are little-endian, or big-endian?

If all our target-platforms are little-endian, we could avoid this
byte-swaping and then keep some CPU time for something else...

Thank you for any advice !

Lionel.
