[ENet-discuss] totally flush the outgoing commands list

[Arnaud Blanchard]

Hi,

Each time we use enet, we have the same problem when we have lot of data 
to send.
Eventhough we call very regularly enet_host_service the outgoing command 
list is continuously growing and the lag to retrieve the data is 
continuously increasing. Even using enet_host_flush does not solve the 
problem.

We wonder if it can be a kind of timeout somewhere or a limit in the 
number of packet sent in one shout. Anyway, the only solution (see 
below) that we have found is to loop on calling enet_host_service until 
the list is empty, but it is not very clean or satisfactory.

Any explanation ?

Thank you for your help, best regards,

Arnaud Blancahrd


for(i=0;i<host->peerCount;i++)
{
     while ( !enet_list_empty(&(peers[i].outgoingReliableCommands))
             || !enet_list_empty(&(peers[i].outgoingUnreliableCommands)))
             {
                 enet_host_service(0);
             }
}
