Variables

		Name	Description
	bool	bNeedsEndianInspection	Used to interrogate the first packet received to determine endianess of the sending client
	TArray< FQueued...	QueuedMessages	Provides an extra buffer beyond RELIABLE_BUFFER for control channel messages as we must be able to guarantee delivery for them because they include package map updates and other info critical to client/server synchronization

Constructors

	UControlChannel ( const FObjectInitializer& ObjectIn... )
	UControlChannel ( const FObjectInitializer& ObjectIn... )	Default constructor

Functions

	bool	CheckEndianess ( FInBunch& Bunch )	Inspects the packet for endianess information.
	void	QueueMessage ( const FOutBunch* Bunch )	Adds the given bunch to the QueuedMessages list.
