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

My understanding is as follows (anyone correct me if I'm wrong here):
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.
2. Then, you'd get the reliable packet (guaranteed).
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).
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.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

*Subject:* [ENet-discuss] Mixing Reliable and Unreliable and
Packet Ordering
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.
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?
* 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)?
* Would I get these 151 packets in any order with only the
reliable one guaranteed to arrive?
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?
