I wonder about the "_might_ need a conversion" as most cpu architectures run little endian. Especially x86.
Wouldn't it be broken since years if it needed big → little conversion?
kind regards txt.file

The ICMPv6 Echo Request/Reply sequence number and id as well as the IPv6 header length are two byte long fields and therefore might need a conversion on a little endian system. Otherwise the output will be broken on such a machine.
