B.2. Common Encoding
Externally, data are represented as "network virtual ASCII" (namely,
7-bit US-ASCII in an 8-bit field), with the high (8th) bit set to
zero. A string of values is in "network byte order", in which the
higher-valued bytes are represented on the left-hand side and are
sent over the network first.
