[ENet-discuss] Enet Header size

[Peter Soxberger]

Ok does this mean that ENet collects the small packets and send it as one big packet for saving overhead?
I worried that this isn't implented because I use a lot of packets with small data in them and this would produce a lot of unnecessary overhead.
