Not sure what you mean by a crossover cable here but probably not whatever
I am thinking :)
Play a synth from a midi sequencer on host A, sent it
to a synth on host B.
Linux - Linux and maybe Linux - OSX.
I think I tried QmidiNet once, but it gave me quite some latency iirc.
I can't speak for the latency, some of that would be jack (if used) on
either end but some may also be network. How local is the LAN? how many
switches/routers does the signal go through? how busy is the LAN? Is
wireless involved? Are there any old style hubs? Is there any traffic
shaping going on?
I do not know if this is any better than ipmidi (QmidiNet) but there was
an announcement last month:

https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid/releases
rtpmidi is compatable with the built in rtmidi in MacOs/osx etc.
