That's the correct approach, yes. > The problem is size, as well as endian ness. While conversion do I have to > check ENDIAN(BIG ENDIAN) ness also ? You need to ensure that the upper 32-bits are assigned to the 'high' field (in the native byte ordering), and the lower 32-bits are assigned to the 'low' field. This is typically done by a 32-bit right-shift, and masking against 0xffffffff respectively. > In addition what will happen over the net, If the master agent is on Big > ENDIAN box and sub-agent is in Little Endian? The library takes care of converting between native and network byte ordering. You don't need to worry about this.
