<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My understanding is as follows (anyone correct me
if I'm wrong here):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. You'd first get the 100 unreliable packets,
exactly in the order you sent them but they are not all guaranteed to arrive.
You may get packets 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, but you will never get 1, 3, 2,
4.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Then, you'd get the reliable packet
(guaranteed).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. After the reliable packet has been received and
acknowledged, you'd start receiving the remainder of the packets (which is to
say the 50 unreliable ones).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In no event will you get packets in the wrong
order, as this is exactly what ENet is there to avoid. You can specify a flag to
get this behavior though, if you want it for whatever reason.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope this helps.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kind regards,</FONT></DIV>

and Unreliable and Packet Ordering</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I know I could use different channels to get the result I want
but I was curious about the expected behavior using a single
channel.<BR><BR>Suppose if I had sent 100 unreliable packets, followed by one
reliable packet, followed by 50 more unreliable packets. In what order should
I expect them to arrive?<BR>
<UL>
<LI>Would I first get the 100 unreliable (in any order, if at all), followed
by the reliable, follows by the 50 unreliable (in any order, if at all)?
<LI>Would I get these 151 packets in any order with only the reliable one
guaranteed to arrive? </LI></UL>I am also under the impression that the second
batch of 50 unreliable packets would not start to arrive (if at all) until
after the one reliable one has arrived?<BR>
