This year's USBOIP (Universal Serial Bus over Internet Protocol) hands-on project explores what is necessary to enable USB devices to operate over a network. The project attempts to spark interest and consideration about the emerging methods to extend the functions of USB devices. As with all hands-on projects, the effort for this project spanned several months' research, planning, and implementation. The recently released Wireless USB specification was unavailable during most of the project, so it did not materially affect our effort.
