I can't help but feel you're reinventing an image format  and/or part
of the VNC protocol.

TCP guarantees ordered delivery. (Or no delivery at all.) So there will be
nothing at the transport layer that changes the order of your bytes.

Is your code going to be portable across multiple CPU
architectures? (Might it need to be so? Consider mobile devices, for a
start.) If so, you really need to be aware of things such as "network
byte order".
