2469 Narten Dec 1998 A Caution On The Canonical
Ordering Of Link-Layer Addresses
Protocols such as ARP and Neighbor Discovery have data fields that
contain link-layer addresses. In order to interoperate properly, a
sender setting such a field must insure that the receiver extracts those
bits and interprets them correctly. In most cases, such fields must be
in "canonical form". Unfortunately, not all LAN adaptors are consistent
in their use of canonical form, and implementations may need to
explicitly bit swap individual bytes in order to obtain the correct
format. This document provides information to implementors to help them
avoid the pitfall of using non-canonical forms when canonical forms are
required. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
