--Yes, exactly. It is just connected to one slot/device and not

As each virtual machine is sharing the same hardware. Please let me
know if it makes sense.

Basically that's right. It makes sense Dhananjay because this is the USB
over IP type of sharing. Imagine you have one device, let's say
hard-drive connected to the USB and there's some kind of protocol to
share it over the internet. It's more or less like let's say FTP server
with the exception that we don't access the FTP server application but
we access the USB hard-drive instead. It can accept all the command
using e.g. the HTTP protocol and the commands may be done simultaneously
when not conflicting with the other clients for which the perfect
example is the read-only access. Since it's not conflicting with any
other client every user/client could place a request on some file and
the file is being retrieved using the USB-over-IP protocol and the data
sent to the client that requested them. The virtual machines are sharing
the same hardware so that's why I used comparison to HTTP/FTP server and
it's clients. The logic is pretty similar AFAIK.

I think SPICE protocol allows you to *transport* (aka connect)
single
USB device to single desktop OS. It's not USB sharing.
It's basicly USB-over-IP.. replacing the physical USB cable
with IP connection.

Yeah, I think so. I think this is basically the USB over IP
interface which makes the impression of sharing and it even may be
called sharing but one device is being still physically connected
to one slot/device and not multiple at once.
