Looking at the headers I only see <i>ENET_PACKET_FLAG_RELIABLE</i> and
<i>NET_PACKET_FLAG_UNSEQUENCED</i> for <i>enet_packet_create()</i>.
What am I missing?<br>

[ENet-discuss] Mixing Reliable 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>
<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>
