I was expecting to be able to create a thunderbolt network port, seeing as it's a p2p interface like ethernet, firewire, and serial. but when I click to add a port, it doesn't list thunderbolt as an option.

Is there a different way to do this, maybe requires an installation, or just not happening? Currently using thunderbolt target mode to drag and drop quickly between computers, but requires a machine to be rebooted. Would like to do it directly via networking if possible, to avoid the restart.

(for those about to say "but thunderbolt is for storage, not networking, please note that this works perfectly fine with firewire)
