Index X - Assignment Timestamp

assignment info (le): Mon Aug 9 23:36:38 2004; AC1213B0
This time stamp and data word are sent to the client by the assignment server along with the IP address of the work server and other information. The data word is a checksum derived from the IP address and the time stamp. The client sends all three words to the work server as validation of the assignment. These values can be stored in queue.dat in either little-endian or big-endian byte order. It is unknown why it can be either way, but the notation in parentheses, either "(le)" or "(be)" indicates how it actually is stored in this entry.

The three related fields are: Assignment Info Present, Assignment Timestamp and Assignment Info
