Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
I rephrase my last question reagrding BW. I understand that ENet provide some sort of BW. I am wondering how or what should I check before I call <A class=el href="http://enet.bespin.org/group__host.html#g83c5fa02a3ba6ab829856302e54929fe"><U><FONT color=#800080>enet_host_bandwidth_limit</FONT></U></A> function. Would really appreciate a example?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your help?<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
