The link-layer header format is as follows:

So are multi-byte integral fields in the byte order of the host providing the packets, always in little-endian order 
(if, for example, Apple were to go Power ISA again, they'd be little-endian even on those machines...), or always in 
big-endian order?

(I.e., does the code that's generating these packets explicitly put them into a particular byte order or does it just 
put them into the header in the host byte order?)
