[ENet-discuss] Reliable packets and data sending approaches

[Philip Bennefall]

I understand what you're saying there. But say then that I start at a rate of 50 per second, and then let ENet's dynamic throttle take it down if necessary? Would that be a safe approach? It would allow for 50 packets a second in ideal network conditions such as a lan or two super connections, and automatically adapt itself to other circumstances. What do you think?

Kind regards,

Philip Bennefall

  60 times per second would probably be overkill on most connections, considering you send packets every 16ms, which IMHO may be a bit too fast even for TCP. Do notice that i'm no networking expert, but having a guy from the other side of the world send/receive packets every 16ms instead of the usual 50ms will need a pretty darn good connection.

    Lee,

    Would it be acceptable to send small packets out, say 60 times a second or so? Will ENet handle it if it getst oo much?

    Kind regards,

      Mihai is mistaken. Sauerbraten only sends 30 times a second. Events like
      gun shots are sent reliably. Only position data for players is sent
      unreliably.

        So what is the game frame rate in sauerbraten? How often does it end
        up sending updates, how many times a second?

        Kind regards,
