[Spice-devel] Help on USB Sharing using Spice

[A.J.Pra$anth]

Hi all,
         Is it possible to use spice usbredir in non vm environment to
share USB devices ? In the usb redirection protocol document i has been
mentioned like

"The most significant use case for this is taking a usb device attached to
some machine "a" which acts as a client / viewer to a virtual machine "v"
hosted on another machine "b", and make the usb device show up inside the
virtual machine as if it were attached directly to the virtual machine "v"."

So my doubt  is it possible to export an USB device (physically attached to
a machine running linux) over IP and import the device in a  machine(Not
VM) which runs windows . If possible please share some "Howto" links.

Will it be right if i consider this as a replacement for the outdated
http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ ?

Best Regards
Prasanth
