Like O'Reilly's example
0100007F:0017 = rem_address
then they reverse the ordering of the bytes in the IP address part.
7F000001:0017

Then they seperate the bytes of the address
7F 00 00 01 : 0017

Then hexadecimal-to-decimal conversion on each:

127 0 0 1 : 23

A little experience often upsets a lot of theory.
