[Qemu-devel] RFC: usb redirection over the network, interesting outside of spice?

[Hans de Goede]

Hi All,

Now that I have usb-1.1 passthrough  / local redirection support
working reliably (see my patch sets for this), I'm going to start
working on doing usb redirection support over the network.

The idea here is that a usb device connected to machine a, will be
available for use by the guest os running on host b (machine b).

I'm working on this because it is something which we want / need
for spice. I'm wondering if there is interest in this outside
of spice ?

I'm asking because at this moment in time the redirection support
can probably be written in a way which abstracts the transport channel
quite easily, allowing use outside of spice.

Regards,

Hans
