In this section:

    Big-endian is used for network communication (called network byte order).
    Little-endian is used for internal storage in Bitcoin.

In Bitcoin all integers are encoded little-endian. This applies to bytes on the wire as well as how data is stored serialized on disk. I'm not sure what the Big-endian statement here applies to?
