USB over Network (also called USB-over-IP or USB over Ethernet) is a technology that allows you to access physical USB devices across a local network (LAN), Wi-Fi, or the internet as if they were plugged directly into your local machine. By wrapping standard USB data into network packets (TCP/IP), this technology bypasses the strict physical distance limitations of normal USB cables. How it Works
The system splits the connection process into two distinct parts:
The Server: The computer or hardware hub where the physical USB device is plugged in. It shares the device out to the network.
The Client: The remote computer that connects to the shared device.
Virtualization: The client software emulates a physical USB port at the operating system level, meaning your local programs can interact with the remote device with zero modification. Common Use Cases Remote USB over IP with Digi
