I think the latency should be fine - midi is really small amounts of data. Just depends on the tool processing that data, and whatever other network traffic was in the pipe. But the biggest issue with the midi protocol is that info is serial which lends itself to latency...I hope that changes sometime soon, as the protocol is like 30 years old.

Absolutely not. The TCP stacks in computers are well tuned. Networks run everywhere.
At MIDI speeds, it takes a MINIMUM of 1ms to send a single note on messege. That's because MIDI runs at 31.125kbps, while the slowest ethernet currently runs at 10Mbps (300 times faster). However, the most latency comes from your operating system and how fast it can get a MIDI or UDP packet out to a port. (anybody run their audio with sub 1ms latencies??)
