[ENet-discuss] Mixing Reliable and Unreliable and Packet Ordering

[Nicholas J Ingrassellino]

I know I could use different channels to get the result I want but I was 
curious about the expected behavior using a single channel.

Suppose if I had sent 100 unreliable packets, followed by one reliable 
packet, followed by 50 more unreliable packets. In what order should I 
expect them to arrive?

    * Would I first get the 100 unreliable (in any order, if at all),
      followed by the reliable, follows by the 50 unreliable (in any
      order, if at all)?
    * Would I get these 151 packets in any order with only the reliable
      one guaranteed to arrive?

I am also under the impression that the second batch of 50 unreliable 
packets would not start to arrive (if at all) until after the one 
reliable one has arrived?

"The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically 
solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could 
not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps 
some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying."
