Yeah, I tried that and it didn't work.  The reason is the code in
enet_host_bandwidth_throttle() which recalculates the
packetThrottleLimit, and adjusts the packetThrottle downwards if the
limit shrinks:

peer -> packetThrottleLimit = (peerBandwidth * 
          ENET_PEER_PACKET_THROTTLE_SCALE) / peer -> outgoingDataTotal;

if (peer -> packetThrottleLimit == 0)
    peer -> packetThrottleLimit = 1;

if (peer -> packetThrottle > peer -> packetThrottleLimit)
    peer -> packetThrottle = peer -> packetThrottleLimit;


So, the packetThrottle drops below the max value
(ENET_PEER_PACKET_THROTTLE_SCALE, == 32) of packetThrottleCounter, and
certain packets are dropped.


Any other ideas?
