serial bit sequence in tcp/ip

Dear group members,

Sorry if my topic does not belong to this group.
The topic is about endian of within a tcp/ip byte tramission.
is the following the right sequence to send send value 0x01 in tcp
serially:
time 0: send 1
time 1: send 0
..
..
..
time 7: send 0

Thank you

IP doesn't know about bit orders, only about octets. It depends on the
encoding of the datalink layer, i.e. ethernet, PPP or whatever. Ethernet
and most synchronous protocols generally send the most significant bit
of an octet first; asynchronous protocols (e.g. PPP over an asynchronous
serial link) generally send the least significant bit first.

See the RFCs, tcp/ip is fully documented and freely accessible.
