I'm quite interested in these results as well. I saw there was someone using for an xbox/360 game a while ago and I know their TCR (technical certification requirements) test against bad network conditions. Bad network conditions being relatively low bandwidth, high latency and a certain percentage of packet loss over time.<div>

<br>
I am streaming currency rates using TCP at the moment; the client is at an arbitrary<br>
IP address on the internet. To maintain "real time" streaming, the packet size is small,<br>
so the TCP header size / packet size is quite large. The connection must be reliable.<br>
<br>
It looks like ENet would give me a better header/payload ratio.<br>

The library was developed and tuned for 56K modem usage, perhaps which is<br>
sort of a joke in this day and age. :)<br>

There is no particular roadmap for new features. The library has just grown stuff<br>
as Sauerbraten has needed the features. Thus, it tends to be rather stable over<br>
time, and it's even pretty safe to fork the code or do whatever with it rather than<br>
treat it as a normal library because of that.<br>

Thanks. How much testing has been done under high packet loss?<br>
<br>
Also, in general, what are the known issues with the library?<br>
<br>
Is there a roadmap for new features?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks again<br>

It uses pings or reliable packets to measure the mean round trip time for the connection.<br>
Any excessive deviation from this causes a throttle to oscillate up or down, which regulates<br>
how often ENet will drop unreliable packets to reduce bandwidth usage.<br>
