Comment (by a-star):
Network byte order conversion was not being applied to the timestamp.value
field since we simply had to echo it back to the sender. But now with PAWS
processing, it checks if segment.timestamp value is less than
fReceivedTimestamp and if so discards the packet. Thus the network byte
conversion is important otherwise packets will keep on getting dropped.
