Artnet Unicast to avoid performance issues

Hello,

I strongly need suport for unicast artnet. In other software like MADRIX, it is possible to set an ip adress for every fixture. I currently run into huge performance problems when sending more than one universe, because every artnet node has to process ALL artnet packets. That's really bad :(

In MADRIX there is also a discovery feature via artnet poll.

what artnet node are you using ?
effectively, we are broadcasting artnet signal.

I am using the DIY LED Stripe Project for Arduino. To save money we would like to use the Arduino Ethernet instead of Arduino Mega+Ethernet Shield for each stripe. The Arduino Ethernet has performance issues with broadcast because of its small amount of RAM.

Really looking forward to Unicast :/
