[ENet-discuss] A few questions about unreliable delivery

[Lee Salzman]

1. 0 flags means unreliable.

2. Unsequenced are both unreliable and unsequenced, so they can be discarded and come out of order.

3. Neither has duplicates, so you will only ever get a packet once or never.

4. Unreliable packets sent after a reliable packet stall on the reliable packet, whereas unsequenced won't stall.
