How does reliable deals with duplicates ? #19

Closed aghiles closed 5 years ago

I am no sure duplicates are dealt with internally. For example, re-=sending the same packet twice (because ACKs did not arrive) could lead to receive packet duplications. If possible, could someone shed some light on this ?

reliable.io does not resend dropped packets, it simply tells you which packets were received by the other side.

(So yes, all handling of resending dropped packets, and handling duplication is up to you!)
