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.
