This module is not supported in earlier versions.
Official documentation for lua-enet is available here. ENet's features are listed on its homepage. The official documentation may have typos. The documentation on this wiki reflects Löve's implementation, meaning it should be safe to follow what's written here.
lua-enet is simply some Lua bindings for ENet.
ENet's purpose is to provide a relatively thin, simple and robust network communication layer for games on top of UDP (User Datagram Protocol).The primary feature it provides is optional reliable, in-order delivery of packets.
ENet omits certain higher level networking features such as authentication, lobbying, server discovery, encryption, or other similar tasks that are particularly application specific so that the library remains flexible, portable, and easily embeddable.
