MIDI on a ethernet?

[Kim Flint]

In attempting this, you should be aware that ethernet is a
non-deterministic network architecture. (the collision detect arbitration
makes it impossible to predict latency...)  This means you will likely have
problems with timing accuracy in your midi commands. Using 100base-T would
help, as would insuring there is no other traffic on the network. This is
why ethernet has regulary not been selected by various standards
organizations for audio/music network applications.
