Summary: USB device sharing system over IP network

Description: 

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 requests" into IP packets and
transmits them between computers. Original USB device drivers and
applications can be also used for remote USB devices without any
modification of them. A computer can use remote USB devices as if they
were directly attached; for example, we can:
  - USB storage devices: fdisk, mkfs, mount/umount, file operations,
    play a DVD movie and record a DVD-R media.
  - USB keyboards and USB mice: use with linux console and X Window
    System.
  - USB webcams and USB speakers: view webcam, capture image data and
    play some music.
  - USB printers, USB scanners, USB serial converters and USB Ethernet
    interfaces: ok, use fine.
