[ENet-discuss] send a message from a client to client

[Erik Beran]

You could try establish a connection between clients, but then you're
traveling into the world of NAT negotiation.  Just try sending the public
address of a clients to all other clients.

If this is for gaming, bear in mind you should probably only send
unimportant things directly from client to client such as voice.  You still
want to have the server as the authority over the game simulation.

If you're really interested in learning how to get passed NAT devices,
google it or check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT_traversal
