Well on Solaris 10 (Sparc), AF_INET is defines as 2 and in some of
the header files where they use  ...->sin_family = AF_INET;

But in /usr/include/portocols/routed.h they do:
#define RIP_AF_INET htons(AF_INET)
to use in a RIPv2  struct netinfo { ...
from RFC 2453.

    "Unless otherwise specified, fields contain binary integers,
    in network byte order, with the most-significant octet
    first (big-endian)"

So on Solaris at least it looks like you store it in the
local format. If you want to send it over the netwotk, then
in network byte order.
