[ENet-discuss] Reliable Sequence Numbers overflowing

[Ben Moreno]

I've been running into what seems to be a bug when sending a very  
large number of reliable packets over an ENet connection. Everything  
will be going fine, then the channel that's being used will just stop  
getting any packets. No disconnect notice, just no packets. Other  
channels continue to work.

While poking around the ENet source to try to find the cause, I  
discovered that _ENetPeer.outgoingReliableSequence number, and the  
other 16 bit variables it influences are overflowing. I suspect this  
may be the cause of the bug I'm seeing.

My question is, would outgoingReliableSequence overflowing cause  
reliable packets to stop being delivered? Is there a reason it's 16  
bit instead of 32? I see a couple of other variables who are  
influenced by outgoingReliableSequence, who's type would also need to  
be changed to enet_uint32. Are there any things who's size needs to  
be changed that I might have missed?

Thanks,
Ben
