Ethernet was invented in 1973 and the first 32-bit processors were available in 1979.
While you've got the time machine, can you fix it so that "network byte order" and Intel endianness are the same too?
Or rather keep Intel from munging the order their processors write bytes in.
What?
The 32-bit Vax 11/780 was introduced in 1977 and IEEE 802.3 was not finalized until 1983. So they could/should have done something about it I think.
Come to think of it, the Vax was little endian (like Intel).
