The USB double bulk pipe driver (Host to host cables). Currently there are two supported chips, the NetChip 1080 (only prototypes available) and the EzLink cable. Any other cable should be supported however as they are all very much alike (there is a difference between them wrt performance). It uses Netgraph. This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months). Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a prototype of their 1080 chip. Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however this is an excellent driver to start playing with.

The point-to-point nature and additional latency of USB host-host links
makes them unsuitable as a "drop-in" replacement for an Ethernet LAN;
for a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed cable, latency is comparable to 100BaseTX Ethernet
(but often worse), with throughput comparable to 2.5GBASE-T.
.Pp
However, their energy efficiency makes them attractive for embedded
applications. A Plugable PL27A1 cable claims 24mA of USB3 bus power,
as compared to 150mA for a typical USB 3.0 to Gigabit Ethernet interface.

The USB double bulk pipe driver (Host to host cables). Currently there are two supported chips, the NetChip 1080 (only prototypes available) and the EzLink cable. Any other cable should be supported however as they are all very much alike (there is a difference between them wrt performance). It uses Netgraph. This driver was mostly written by Doug Ambrisko and Julian Elischer and I would like to thank Whistle for yet another contribution. And my aplogies to them for me sitting on the driver for so long (2 months). Also, many thanks to Reid Augustin from NetChip for providing me with a prototype of their 1080 chip. Be aware of the fact that this driver is very immature and has only been tested very lightly. If someone feels like learning about Netgraph however this is an excellent driver to start playing with.

driver first appeared in
.Fx 5.0 .
Modernise this man page somewhat. 1. Add a reference to a good 3rd party list of compatible cables, but provide suggestions for 'known good' vendors. 2. Change IP-based USB host-host example to a modern Ethernet one which works 'out of box' with current Linux systems. 3. Explain that USB 3.0 is host-host, even though point-to-point soft Ethernet can be achieved. MFC after: 3 weeks

General clean-up [0/1]: content Clear extraneous Nm arguments. Clarify some English. Mark netgraph and ifconfig up as a cross-reference. Remove apostrophe from a genitive ``its''.
