[ENet-discuss] Another Newby Question

[Lee Salzman]

Packet loss at one point was envisioned to have a greater role in the 
throttling mechanism, but I found this rather useless in the end, and 
RTTs made a better indicator of network conditions. So, the packet loss 
stuff is currently vestigial, but could feasibly play do more in the 
future if I ever figure out what.

As for scale, because limiting the precision to 100 distinct values 
would be rather silly, and using floating point in what is essentially a 
network stack also would be rather superfluous.
