the is a diference between the float value, and it's pd representation.
pd representation is a bit less accurate than a 32bit float.
(see older thread on pd precision)

rawprint certainly print the float with full precision.
but netsend/netreceive use pd number representation.
If you use a network analyser, like wireshark, you'll see that 1000001 is send using "1e+06"
number are send in ascii.

you were clear enough,
it's just me that write only half of the answer the 1st time.
