Will you use thunderbolt instead of Ethernet ?
-
It's not really that close. For a start it is only available on Macs, which is already a minority. Then consider that it is only available on new Macs, which considering how long most people keep their machines, is an even smaller number. Then you have to consider that when it is available for PCs, it will again only be on new machines, and only Intel ones, so far.
This all means that take up will be pretty slow, so for the foreseeable future Ethernet is a far bigger target market.

Ethernet can run up to 100Gbit/s, though most motherboards run up to 1Gbit/s. So thunderbolt at 100Mbit/s is somewhat slower. The UA link you mention , is UA announcing how much faster thunderbolt is than firewire. VE Pro is already using a 1Gbit/s ethernet, so I don't see how a 100Mbit/s thunderbolt could be any better, seeing that it is ten times slower than existing networks.

Check this page: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/usb-2-0-vs-usb-3-0-vs-esata-vs-thunderbolt-vs-firewire-vs-ethernet-speed/ Here is what we can read: To summarize the above data, the connection types would result in the following, from fastest to slowest. 1. Thunderbolt 2. USB 3.0 3. eSATA 4. Firewire 5. USB 2.0 6. Ethernet. So, if ethernet is 100Gb/s why don't we use this protocole for audio interface ? it must have limitations ...

Are you experiencing any limits with Gigabit ethernet, causing you to wish for some Thunderbolt implementation?On my side, using VE Pro on the same machine is always better than on remote machine.
I can set the Daw at lower buffer size when VE Pro is on the same computer as the sequencer.
My slave is directly connected via Ethernet cable, no switch or router.
I use WiFI for internet connection only.
Is there something I can change in my settings for optimizing ethernet performance?

reporting better performance as local host seems peculiar. are your network settings for static or dynamic IP?
