We've had previous discussions about using ethernet for real time control.
In theory, this is NOT difficult stuff. I'll bet I could get something going in a week or three. In practice, though, it is a PITA. That's because you would need a real time driver for each of the zillion or so different ethernet boards, chips, etc., that people want you to support. Then, of course, there is the question of what to put on the end of the ethernet. Something like Jon Elson's boards would be nice. Something that you could expand with lots of switch and relay interfaces would make many people happy.
