Platform dependency / Endianness Issue

[gmuth]

It looks like the BinaryReaderExtension only works for LittleEndian Platforms. On BigEndian Platforms the byte order is also reversed resulting in LittleEndian where BigEndian was already provided.

@gmuth How can I fulfill your requirement? Should the IppProtocol include a property IsLittleEndian, and in that case, read the bytes without reversing them?

[gmuth]

As far as I remember C# offers isLittleEndian() somewhere.
if isLittleEndian() reverseBytes(...) should do it.

[danielklecha]

I found BitConverter.IsLittleEndian but client and server could use different architecture and this check will generate issues. I still think that client must configure it manually or... use bool? and check flag from bitconverter when it's null. It should handle all cases.

The common base is networtbyteorder (bigendian). When server and client use the same byte order the issue is fixed.
