Depends on how wide a range of hardware and OS you mean by "portable".
The Ada language tries hard to be portable to no OS, hardware that has
39 bit "bytes", hardware that has ones-complement integer arithmetic,
etc.
If you restrict "portable" to mean an OS with a TCP stack, and
hardware with 8 bit bytes, things are much simpler. In fact, the code
you wrote is probably portable among that set.
