No, the point is to get all available packets in this frame and not stall, i.e. it is polling. You wouldn't use a non-zero timeout in a game's client loop like that.

Couldn't the problem be

while( enet_host_service (client,&  event, 0)>  0 )

because it takes all the CPU (100%)?
shouldn't it be something like:

while( enet_host_service (client,&  event, 10)>  0 )

so that the CPU gets a chance to handle other task like the network stack?

I am doing this every 1/60th second:

    while( enet_host_service (client,&  event, 0)>  0 )
    {
          switch (event.type)
          {
                case ENET_EVENT_TYPE_RECEIVE:
                        // ( handle packet )
                        enet_packet_destroy (event.packet);
                        break;
                 case ENET_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECT: // (handle disconnect here)
         }
    }

As I understand it that will process all available events.

In the client, make sure you repeatedly call enet_host_service() until it
returns no events, otherwise it may possibly not service the network at
all
if it gets backlogged.

It does *not* exhibit the stalling behavior when I run on LAN or on
the same machine.

Have you tried running both on the same physical machine, or on two

Perhaps it's caused by comcast equipment.

The server is hosted on a dedicated hosting provider M5, but I have
also tried putting the server on a friend's home Ubuntu server with
the exact same intermittent stalling behavior.

The client is under a router and cable modem with comcast

pinging the server averages 49ms at the moment, 32ms from another
network ive tested
