No.
Google doesn't have an entry for it.
An entry where? When I did a Google search for "hexadectet", it assumed I meant "hexadentate", but when I told it that I really did mean "hexadectet", it found items such as http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-denog-v6ops-addresspartnaming-02.txt "4.7. Hexadectet "Hexadectet" is directly derived from IPv4's "octet", thus techni- cally correct and probably convenient to get used to. On the other hand, it is much harder to pronounce." and http://www.imc.org/ietf-822/old-archive1/msg02577.html from 1992: "I hasten to admit that modeling the path between the decoder and the richtext parser as a hexadectet stream has its own problems, mainly in that it makes the richtext parser harder to write (one has to be careful before using any standard string manipulation routines)." ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
