[ENet-discuss] If it possible to know if a packet has been delivered ?

[Lee Salzman]

Oh, I just thought of one other way, that doesn't even require hacking into
the library. Just set the freeCallback in the packet. There are only two
cases a reliable packet ever actually gets freed: when all queues it has
been entered into finally sent it, or if the connection got disconnected
before that happened. Either way, the freeCallback was actually put in for
subversive purposes like this.
