< Features
= USB redirection over the network
Summary
Allow redirecting a USB device to another machine over the network. For example use an USB webcam attached to machine A on machine B. For Fedora 16 the focus will be on allowing using USB devices attached to some machine (not necessarily the host machine) inside a qemu-kvm virtual machine.

- Support for qemu to receive data from a usbredir pipe, and make the redirected USB device show up as being attached to the emulated host controller inside the virtual machine
