[ENet-discuss] Unreliable Delivery for Large Messages

[Alexander Dolgansky]

Yes that's one of the options that I currently looking at.

The reason why I need it in my project is because I have a large
number of data points that need to be sent out as one message at a
certain rate.
Therefore, each message needs to be sent out only once to keep up with
the overall sending rate. If message pieces arrive out of order or it
is not possible to send out
all of the pieces due to network issues, the whole message must be
dropped. This is the required behavior for some of the messages that I
need to transfer between nodes.

Although splitting the data into smaller chucks is a valid solution to
my problem, I am wondering if ENet can do it for me.
After all, ENet already fragments any message that is larger than MTU,
so it is just a matter of figuring out how I can force ENet to
send fragments unreliably.

Is it possible to accomplish what I am trying to do with ENet with
only minor changes to the source code?

If yes, I would love to get pointers on how I should modify the source code.

Thanks.

Alexander.
