Ultra Ethernet is a joint project between dozens of companies organized under the Linux Foundation.

>> The Linux Foundation has established the Ultra Ethernet Consortium "UED" as an industry-wide effort founded by AMD, Arista, Broadcom, Cisco, Eviden, HPE, Intel, Meta, and Microsoft for designing a new Ethernet-based communication stack architecture for high performance networking.
You probably can't call it "industry standard" yet but the goal is obviously for it to become one.
