How is this better than UDP? Or for that matter, just plain old Ethernet MAC addressing? You can achieve lower latency and speed (than this) if you don't care about reliability in your transport layer.

This reaks of NIH.

I worked with a company that wrote its own protocol for Ethernet and got almost wire speed. It was worth it for 10, but not worth it at 100mbps.

You can always beat general purpose solutions like the TCP/IP/UDP stack if you try. For most it isn’t worth it.

Did you even try reading the README?

- TTPoE is designed to be implemented at hardware level unlike UDP

- UDP cannot guarantee transmission whereas this does

- TTPoE is built for distributed resilience
