Users of TB3 (as you likely know) need to interconnect TB3 computers for worth while peer to peer networks based on TB3 (unless it finally dawns on someone to provide a TB3 hub with 2 TB3 controllers (a la Mac Mini 2018)

If anyone has interest, at least in Windows you can connect two TB3 machines using routing e.g. if you create a ‘ring’ of 5 machines each can talk to each other using SMB (not possible with daisy chain)

Good question. My guess is that’s a no. You might need to wait for Thunderbolt 4.

As there are no TB3 hubs, Existing TB3 motherboards could use this to connect to a USB4 hub for multiple TB3 connections (not daisy chained)
