Just like JCschild said and my local dealer stated: these are not “fail safe” solutions in cross communication between different / non-integrated systems.
That why i repeat: the industry standart in Audio over IP has yet to be made.
Or DANTE has be pushed foward by companies like Yamaha or Focusrite.
But i am sceptical about both companies in terms of computer technology.
Rember mLAN? (DISASTER!)
And Focusrite isn´t especially well known for their “excellent software drivers”. 
I don´t see that Audio over IP is cheaper or better with smaller setups than MADI.
For example: take a RME MADI USB and a FERROFISH A16MkII …
Thats 1.850€ for 16 channels AD/DA.
Expandable to 128 channels in 48khz, 64channels in 96khz and 32 Channels in 192khz.
That´s almost the same price as my RME Fireface UFX.
