[ENet-discuss] ENet versus SDL_net

[Nuno Silva]

There are plenty of advantages, with the most important one in my view to be
reliable packets and channels. If you don't know, reliable packets are UDP
packets which are guaranteed to reach their destination some time after
being sent. However, they're sequenced, so if one reaches the host a long
time after a packet you sent after that one, it'll be discarded by ENet.
