Hi,
I guess it should be abstract enough to support multiple back-ends, be
it a kernel driver or through libusb?
Is this something that should just live in libusb?
If what libusb presented QEMU was actually implemented as USB-over-IP,
QEMU wouldn't know the difference at all. I think it would also be very
useful to be able for libusb-based applications to work with remote devices.
What is unclear to me is what role QEMU would play in setting up remove
USB-over-IP devices. Pushing it down to the libusb layer completely
takes QEMU out the picture which creates a clean separation layer.
Well, I think the management is actually the most tricky thing here.
Unfortunaly this isn't covered very well in the usb/ip papers. Also
there seems to be no protocol specification linked from the website.
Being compatible at protocol level makes sense for direct connections
(if possible). For the usb-over-vnc and vnc-over-spice cases this
probably isn't going to work though.
cheers,
