[LLAPI] When to call NetworkTransport.Recieve()?

Hey all,

My quick question is: When to call NetworkTransport.Recieve()?
Should I do this in the Update method or since I don't have one, in a loop?

Both solutions seems so wrong to me.

Thanks for any help,

In all of the examples I've seen, it gets called in Update(). The transport layer API manual shows it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update()
2. {
3.     int recHostId;
4.     int connectionId;
5.     int channelId;
6.     byte[] recBuffer = new byte[1024];
7.     int bufferSize = 1024;
8.     int dataSize;
9.     byte error;
10.     NetworkEventType recData = NetworkTransport.Receive(out recHostId, out connectionId, out channelId, recBuffer, bufferSize, out dataSize, out error);
11.     switch (recData)
12.     {
13.         case NetworkEventType.Nothing:         //1
14.             break;
15.         case NetworkEventType.ConnectEvent:    //2
16.             break;
17.         case NetworkEventType.DataEvent:       //3
18.             break;
19.         case NetworkEventType.DisconnectEvent: //4
20.             break;
21.     }
22. }
