[ENet-discuss] Multiple events for single frame

[Riccardo Corsi]

Hi Long Cheng,

that's what they also suggested me on IRC.

If I got it straight, those calls - enet_host_service()
and enet_host_check_events()
only watch if there are messages already buffered and do not touch the
socket, so they are very fast.

Thanks a lot!

Ricky
