[ENet-discuss] Network sent/received bytes

[Lee Salzman]

It's mainly just for those particular stats (totalSent*, totalReceived*),
since they're only 32 bit, and like all bandwidth stats, increase fast,
eventually they will roll-over, hence the value in resetting them to zero
to keep that from occurring. You don't have to reset them, of course, in
that ENet doesn't depend on them in any way internally, it will just help
you prevent the roll-over if your app needs to use them.
