Data is sent to the slave immediately without delay of Net memory.
Saving about 5 to 10 seconds in a scene with a render time of 2 to 3 minutes is a considerable advantage.
If you do not have a lot of network GPUs, it's a good idea to build a 10Gb NIC.
To build a 10Gb network I purchased switches and GBICs on Ebay inexpensively.
I bought a 10Gb 24port switch and 10 10Gb NICs and DAC cables using less than $ 500 total cost.
If you are interested in extending your network rendering further, consider it.
