[ENet-discuss] ordered packets

[Paul Collier]

I'm curious about setting the range of channels. Is there any way to
set it other than by the client at connection establishment? If
someone tried to clone a program's protocol with enet but changed the
number of channels, could this possibly affect the behaviour of the
server you were running? (i.e. they set it to zero--could this break
the server network code? Or perhaps they set it to a very high
number--could this slow down the server?) Enet seems to be pretty good
about security from what I've seen, in any case.
