Well, for *processing, *if you care for the efficiency, the best "bite" and packaging of the data is the length of the CPU registers, i.e. 32 or 64 bits (it can be even 128-256 for SIMD instructions).
However for the network you are always supposed to first serialize/reference anything into/as an array of bytes, and it's sent into serial packets. ....* Todor "Tosh" Arnaudov ....* * ....
