Re: [Xen-devel] Virtualization project idea

Yeah, I think so. I think this is basically the USB over IP interface which makes the impression of sharing and it even may be called sharing but one device is being still physically connected to one slot/device and not multiple at once.

--Yes, exactly. It is just connected to one slot/device and not multiple but this device should be accessible to each virtual machine? As each virtual machine is sharing the same hardware. Please let me know if it makes sense. 

Thanks,

I think SPICE protocol allows you to *transport* (aka connect) single
USB device to single desktop OS. It's not USB sharing.

It's basicly USB-over-IP.. replacing the physical USB cable with IP connection.
