[ENet-discuss] [***SPAM***] Send client list to all clients

[Lee Salzman]

ENet is simply a networking protocol, sends a packet from point A to
point B, where A and B are directly connected peers. It has no concept
of a server or client. If you have a client-server setup and you want to
exchange messages among clients, you are responsible for implementing
the routing on the server yourself. For example, your client sends a
message to the server with an identifier (which you have to assign
yourself to clients) describing the other client he wants to send it to,
the server finds the client matching this identifier, and routes the
message to the new client.
