[ENet-discuss] Verifying no reliable packets left

[Lee Salzman]

The most straightforward way is to have the client send an 
acknowledgement packet back to the server after it has received all the 
necessary data from the server. Then you need to nothing more than wait 
for this acknowledgement packet. You don't need to do anything tricky or 
with ENet internals for this.
