+[Overview]
+USB/IP protocol allows to pass USB device from server to client over the
+network. The USB device may be either physical device connected to a server or
+software entity created on a server using USB gadget subsystem.
+Whole project consists of four parts:
+
+    - usbip-vhci
+        Kernel module which provides a virtual USB Host Controller and allows
+        to import a USB device from a remote machine. Used on a client side.
+
+    - usbip-host (stub driver)
+        Kernel module which provides a USB device driver which can be bound to
+        a physical USB device to make it exportable. Used on a server side.
+
+    - usbip-vudc
+        Kernel module which provides a virtual USB Device Controller and allows
+        to export a USB device created using USB Gadget Subsystem. Used on
+        a server side.
+
+    - usbip-utils
+        A set of userspace tools used to handle connection and management.
+        Used on both sides.

+        Found in the drivers/usb/usbip/ directory of the Linux kernel tree.

 [Usage]
+On a server side there are two entities which can be shared.
+First of them is physical usb device connected to the machine.
+To make it available below steps should be executed:

+Second of shareable entities is USB Gadget created using USB Gadget Subsystem
+on a server machine. To make it available below steps should be executed:

+    server:# (Create your USB gadget)
+        - Currently the most preferable way of creating a new USB gadget
+          is ConfigFS Composite Gadget. Please refer to its documentation

+
+    server:# usbipd -D --device
+        - Start usbip daemon.
