While there are a mix of things here, most of the stuff were written from Kernel developer's PoV. So, add them to the driver-api book. A follow up for this patch would be to move documents from there that are specific to sysadmins, adding them to the admin-guide.

PRELIMINARY DRAFT, MAY CONTAIN MISTAKES!
|
|
28 Jun 2011
|
|
|
|
The USB/IP protocol follows a server/client architecture. The server exports the
|
|
USB devices and the clients imports 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 towards 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.
|

| |
|
|
| OP_REP_DEVLIST |
|
|
| <---------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
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 towards 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.
