Working Thunderbolt 3 Win 10 network bridge per Intel - working for anyone?

The Thunderbolt™ Networking Bridging and Routing Instructional White Paper was written in 2014 by Intel.  

There is no communication available with the authors of the paper or Intel.

Quote from the paper: "....multiple computers supporting Thunderbolt™ Networking communicate through multiple Peer-to-Peer connections using Thunderbolt™ 2 Dual Port hosts. In order to allow communication between different hosts in the Thunderbolt chain, network properties should be configured. We will cover two modes of operation: Bridging Mode and Routing mode"

I attempted to reproduce the Bridging Mode per the paper instructions with TB3 and Win 10.  I cannot do it.  The bridge appears when only local addressing is used (no DHCP), but the 'bridge' has no function.  Using static IP addressing for the thunderbolt 'adapters' locks up Win 10.

Has anyone succeeded with either Mode, esp Bridging?

Thanks

    Works on Win 8.1 pro, you can follow the instructions for bridging, I was able to create the first bridge (3 computers), then I extended the bridge to a computer on the edge.

    It appears you can bridge in additional computers indefinitely

    As a (better) alternative, the routing example given in the White Paper does work
