[ENet-discuss] Congestion Avoidance and Control

[Lee Salzman]

The library was developed and tuned for 56K modem usage, perhaps which is
sort of a joke in this day and age. :)

There is no particular roadmap for new features. The library has just 
grown stuff
as Sauerbraten has needed the features. Thus, it tends to be rather 
stable over
time, and it's even pretty safe to fork the code or do whatever with it 
rather than
treat it as a normal library because of that.
