XDR basically means that all data is in network byte order and aligned to the nearest multiple of 4 bytes. Strings are encoded as a zero-terminated array of characters, aligned to the nearest multiple of 4 bytes, and floating point numbers (32 or 64 bit) must be encoded as per the IEEE standard. | XDR basically means that all data is in network byte order and aligned to the nearest multiple of 4 bytes.

For the record, strings are limited to 128 characters (512 bytes) and packets are limited to 1200 bytes; these limits are hardocded in fgfs.<ref>{{cite web | |||
