Not me at the moment, but unless you tunnel it inside another protocol, you'd really want to look at the existing USB-over-IP protocols instead of reinventing the wheel: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/ (some support in Linux already IIRC) (and there are others which I don't recall) > 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. Yeah it'd be nice to avoid code duplication. Does RDP have such feature ? I'd think it should be possible to add this to VNC somehow, since it has provisions for extensions.
