    Has the VSL team considered engineering its own network protocol to make audio/midi transfer more stable?

    I only ask this because I am aware that MusicLab's MIDIoverLAN product does this. It does not use TCP/IP, but instead installs its own network protocol/driver to communicate. From what I've learned, it is far more stable and potentially decreases latency issues because it is on a completely separate layer and does not have proprietary packet formats.

    There are other technologies of interest too, such as Dante which I have heard very good things about:

    Just wondering what the software dev team's thoughts are, and what made them settle on the currently used network transmission implementation?

    No, I'm talking about the network principle.

    The best thing, if you have time, is to do a benchmark between Dante and VSL protocol [:)]
