Default Thunderbolt to ethernet and latency

Hey there reapers
I was wondering if anyone has any experience or input as to whether thunderbolt to ethernet adapter would be suitable for low latency in reaper as I would like to use a clarett interface on my laptop ?
Would it increase latency times by a significant amount or cause any other problems?
Thanks

Do you mean an ethernet to thunderbolt adapter? No such thing exists. Thunderbolt is basically PCIE over a cable. You can't add thunderbolt to a system by connecting an adapter to an ethernet port.

Mac or Windows?

So your laptop has a Thubderbolt port? Or USB-C?

There are people using a USB-C to ethernet adapter for Dante and ethernet AVB. It works well. But some adapters are a little hairy, like not supporting net-boot without installing obscure drivers.

So you'd better specify what exactly you are using.

He specified a Thunderbolt interface.

Unless his laptop has thunderbolt, this is a no go as was already stated.
