i see... 32 bit is for ip , and 16 bit is for port. one quicky question: ip address consists of 2 parts, one is network address, the other is host address. since unix.com is at 81.17.242.186, what is its network as well as its host address ?
How do you or what is the setup to keep the (server) up from shutting down? It is not server yet but it might very likely become to serve few clients. But, once I get in in the morning its off.

I'm using AF_INET in sockets for inter process communication on the same machine. Is AF_UNIX better for IPC on the same machine than AF_INET in terms of performance? If so, how much better? I would like to know if there is sample code available to test this. I'm running the program on Solaris.

At the present time, my client runs with AF_INET. Is AF_UNIX faster across hosts using the same OS flavor (Red Hat)? What is the difference... (1 Reply)

byteorder
BYTEORDER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual BYTEORDER(3)NAME
htonl, htons, ntohl, ntohs - convert values between host and network byte order
SYNOPSIS
#include <arpa/inet.h>
uint32_t htonl(uint32_t hostlong);
uint16_t htons(uint16_t hostshort);
uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t netlong);
uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t netshort);
DESCRIPTION
The htonl() function converts the unsigned integer hostlong from host byte order to network byte order.
The htons() function converts the unsigned short integer hostshort from host byte order to network byte order.
The ntohl() function converts the unsigned integer netlong from network byte order to host byte order.
The ntohs() function converts the unsigned short integer netshort from network byte order to host byte order.
On the i386 the host byte order is Least Significant Byte first, whereas the network byte order, as used on the Internet, is Most Signifi-
cant Byte first.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
