The advantage of Bringing up an Ethernet Interface by using PCIe ?


https://docs.nvidia.com/jetson/archives/r35.4.1/DeveloperGuide/text/SD/Communications/PcieEndpointMode.html

My hardware device is equipped with both PCIe and Ethernet cables.
I want to establish communication between NX and another device.

This article tell me a means of bringing up the ethernet Interface by using PCIe end point mode. In fact ,I am confused that the difference between using PCIe and Ethernet cable? It is said that PCIe can bring higher bandwidth and less delay, is that true?

Unless you know what you are doing it is far easier (and perhaps in other ways better) to just use ethernet directly. PCIe is a very fast pipe, and normally you put devices on the host bus, but with modification you can turn the Jetson into a device over PCIe (to make the Jetson look like an ethernet controller); then the other computer thinks you’ve plugged a Jetson into that computer. Do you really want to go through all of that trouble? Xavier, depending on model, probably has a 10 Gb/s ethernet available anyway.
