USB/IP protocol

|
Architecture
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
|
|
USB devices and the clients import them. The device driver for the exported
|
|
USB device runs on the client machine.
|
|
|
|
The client may ask for the list of the exported USB devices. To get the list the
|
|
client opens a TCP/IP connection to the server, and sends an OP_REQ_DEVLIST
|
|
packet on top of the TCP/IP connection (so the actual OP_REQ_DEVLIST may be sent
|
|
in one or more pieces at the low level transport layer). The server sends back
|
|
the OP_REP_DEVLIST packet which lists the exported USB devices. Finally the
|
|
TCP/IP connection is closed.

|
| <---------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Once the client knows the list of exported USB devices it may decide to use one
|
|
of them. First the client opens a TCP/IP connection to the server and
|
|
sends an OP_REQ_IMPORT packet. The server replies with OP_REP_IMPORT. If the
|
|
import was successful the TCP/IP connection remains open and will be used
|
|
to transfer the URB traffic between the client and the server. The client may
|
|
send two types of packets: the USBIP_CMD_SUBMIT to submit an URB, and
|
|
USBIP_CMD_UNLINK to unlink a previously submitted URB. The answers of the
|
|
server may be USBIP_RET_SUBMIT and USBIP_RET_UNLINK respectively.

submission would not have a corresponding USBIP_RET_SUBMIT (this is explained in

function stub_recv_cmd_unlink of drivers/usb/usbip/stub_rx.c).

Protocol Version
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
The documented USBIP version is v1.1.1. The binary representation of this
|
|
version in message headers is 0x0111.
|
|
|
|
This is defined in tools/usb/usbip/configure.ac
