All the data types should be returned in local byte order.
The ipaddr type confuses most people because the datatype is *often*
stored as an integer. However, it is in fact a string on the wire
(which means our functions expect it already in the right order):
% sinfo ipAdEntAddr
ipAdEntAddr OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX IpAddress
...
% snmpget -d localhost IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.127.0.0.1
...
0112: 01 02 01 04 14 01 01 7F 00 00 01 40 04 7F 00 00 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
0128: 01 ^^^^^^^^^^^ .
^^
04 - STR
7F 00 00 01 - IPADDR:127.0.0.1
IP-MIB::ipAdEntAddr.127.0.0.1 = IpAddress: 127.0.0.1
