[ENet-discuss] Data loss on disconnect?

[Lee Salzman]

I had debated this and ultimately decided that disconnect should 
override any pending requests, and other behaviors can easily be 
emulated over it. You need to send a packet to the peer that marks the 
end of any communication, which the peer should acknowledge after it's 
processed all pending packets before it. After you receive the 
acknowledgement, then you do your disconnect.
