USBip is a USB/IP client for Windows that attaches USB devices shared by a remote USB/IP server over TCP/IP, so they appear as locally connected devices.
It is fully compatible with the Linux USB/IP protocol, ships WHLK-certified UDE and filter drivers, uses Winsock Kernel NPI for low latency and high throughput, and includes both a GUI (wusbip) and a command line client (usbip).
