How To Set Up A USB-Over-IP Server And Client With Ubuntu 10.04
This tutorial shows how to set up a USB-over-IP server with Ubuntu
10.04 as well as a USB-over-IP client (also running Ubuntu 10.04). The USB/IP Project
aims to develop a general USB device sharing system over IP network. To
share USB devices between computers with their full functionality,
USB/IP encapsulates “USB I/O messages” into TCP/IP payloads and
transmits them between computers. USB-over-IP can be useful for virtual
machines, for example, that don’t have access to the host system’s
hardware – USB-over-IP allows virtual machines to use remote USB
devices.
