[ENet-discuss] Can i use other UDP server farmework like boost::asio or libuv and enet as client ?

[Meir Yanovich]

Hey Len thanks very much answering
Few more questions if i may
Ok so i understand that the Enet Sever as server  not good good enough .
What if i take something like boost::asio or libuv and reverse engineer the
protocol of ENet what should i look in to from your experience ?
Do you think one men could do it ? or it is team effort ?
Thanks
