This all depends on what is acceptable latency for you and how often you are sending packets. Packets are sent out when you call enet_host_service(), so schedule this according to your needs.

In what periods should enet_host_service() be called? I'm using a thread and 
alwas wait 2 milliseconds until I call enet_host_service(). Should I wait 
longer? What are your typical periods?

It collects packets in between calls to enet_host_service(), yes.

Ok does this mean that ENet collects the small packets and send it as
one big packet for saving overhead?
I worried that this isn't implented because I use a lot of packets with
small data in them and this would produce a lot of unnecessary overhead.

Betreff: Re: [ENet-discuss] Enet Header size
The size of a header for an individual user packet WITHIN a protocol packet is about 6-8 bytes. Each protocol packet (which groups as many user packets as it can up to the MTU) has a header size of 8 bytes.

Hi!

I'm currently improving my code that calculates the actual
transferrate.
Does anybody of you know, how much overhead I produce if I send a
single
packet? I know that there is the UDP Header which is 8 Byte big. But
how
much is used by ENet?
If I calculate the real size of a packet, is this correct:

[UDP Header]+[ENet Headers]+[packet->dataLength] = Packet Size

Thanks for your help!
