[ENet-discuss] Packet loss, unreliable packets

Hm, if the unreliable messages are important, and you're sending updated
packets if not acknowledged, it sounds like:
1. You're thinking they really ought to be reliable
2. You're handling them as unreliable, since you're resending with new
information anyway.
 
Why not skip checking ACK's, since you're not really using that anyway? And
just send out info every 0.5 seconds?
 
Not sure about the 6 secs delay; perhaps by default a reliable re-send
timeout is 5000 ms. Although if you get unack'd packets upon packets you
might overflow the pipe (but that won't happen quickly).
 
Cheers,
Ruud

Hi, 

I'm wondering if people can share there experiences with packet loss or
large delays in transmission they've had with enet and how they solved it?
