Changing the ubus message header fields from 'host' order to 'network' order allows passing ubus messages between hosts with different endianity.
Example use (creating a ubus proxy): on host A (e.g. big endian router already running ubusd), run: $ socat TCP-LISTEN:5699,fork UNIX:/var/run/ubus.sock & On host B (e.g. little endian development PC) run: $ socat UNIX-LISTEN:/var/run/ubus.sock,fork TCP:<host A IP>:5699 & Now ubus applications can be run on host B and seamlessly interact with ubus applications on host A.
