[Bro] Why does Bro store addresses internally in network order (AddrVal class)?

[José María González]

Simple question, eh? I assume there has to be a reason 
for this. 

When parsing a D.D.D.D text, scan.l calls AddrVal::AddrVal(char const *), 
which Init()'s its addr_val using dotted_to_addr() (net_util.cc). The 
latter parses the text and calls htonl() before returning.
