Hi,

It is a good implementation of USB redirection function of http://usbip.sourceforge.net/.

But now I more concern about how to provide USB passthrough.

Now that USB devices are used so widely in private/hybrid cloud like used as USB key, and there are no technical issues in libvirt/qemu.
I think it a valuable feature in openstack.

So, are there any further suggestions?

Thanks,
Jeremy Liu
