[ENet-discuss] unreliable vs. reliable packets

Hi,

    I have a question about using reliabel and unreliable packets on the 
same channel. As I understand it from the features web page: A reliable 
packet received will be delayed for delivery until every packet with 
lower sequence number has arrived on the same channel. But what if one 
of the packets with lower sequence numbers is a unreliable packet. Does 
this mean that the channel can be entirely blocked if the unreliable 
packet is lost ie. no further reliable packets can be delivered. Or is 
there a unwritten rule about not using reliable and unreliable packets 
on the same channel?

Thanks,
Jonas
