Thanks Lee, that clears it up a bit.
I was thinking mainly if I were making a file transfer client. I've been
comparing Skype with Msn Messenger and knowing that Skype uses some kind of
UDP layer and Msn uses plain TCP, and Skype is a lot faster, that's why I
brought the matter up.
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: [ENet-discuss] TCP or reliable ENet?
I will put it this way: the OS developers have put more effort and
optimization into their TCP implementation than my reliable data
transfer stuff in ENet. So if you really need to send a lot of bulk data
reliably, then TCP is probably the way to go.
Where ENet is better is when you need to send a mixed
reliable/unreliable data stream, and where the bulk of the data is
unreliable.

Hello there,
If I send packets of, say, 1024 bytes each over a reliable ENet
channel then what would be faster, TCP or that method? I don't really
know how I could measure the difference, and so was wondering if there
was a definite answer to this.
Thanks!
