Basic RADIUS network protocol question

[Martin Olsson]

I'm reading the RFC2865 for RADIUS. In each radius packet seems to have a code, an identifier, a length field, an authenticator field and some attributes.

The length field is 16-bit, but is it big-endian or little-endian? If i receive the two bytes for the length as AB should I use the value 256*A+B or should I use the value A+B*256?
