<div dir="ltr">enet_host_service has a built in timeout if no packets are received.  By only calling it every 20ms you are introducing a fair amount of latency into the processing of the packets.  What I had best luck doing is running it enet on a background thread with an incoming/outgoing queue of messages to/from the main threads with a 10ms timeout in enet_host_service, something like:<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I am using enet 1.3.3 and I have an issue that might be related to enet. I am sending a reliable packet of about 3.5 mb over a local network and it takes approximately 8 seconds to receive it, which I believe should be much faster. I have a few questions on how enet handles these packets.<br>


<br>
1. Do the frequency of the call to enet_host_service (on either the sender or receiver end) matters for the time it takes to transfer the packet ?<br>
2. If so, would it change something if I call enet_host_service with a timeout ? Currently I have a timeout of 0, and move on if there are no events. enet_host_service is called every frame (~20 ms)<br>
3. Can we play with packet or buffer sizes in the enet library to improve the speed in my specific case ? I'm looking at defines like ENET_HOST_RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE or ENET_HOST_SEND_BUFFER_SIZE<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
