It uses UDP Multicast so you don't need to target a specific IP

MIDI ports 1-4 and a second machine respond to ports 5 -8, and so on).
I use this setup between Linux and Windows, it works right out of the
box, no configuration at all!

Great, thanks for mentioning that.
I haven't hooked two computers up yet, but how do "they find each other".
Shouldn't I somehow set a "host at the other end", either by ip-address or
hostname?
Or is it simply clever about it? What's your experience with timing using this over
ethernet (we might end up
simply using a crossover cable across the stage)?
Never had an issue with timing. Ethernet is a lot faster than standard
MIDI-DIN cables, and being able to send and receive up to 20 MIDI
ports is fantastic. I've also use this with a keyboard connected to
one machine and playing back instruments on a remote machine, with
very low latency.
