Sounds a bit like USB/IP (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB/IP https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB/IP). Is this a new thing?

  Both projects seem to be >10 years old at this point… might be a case of "convergent evolution"?

    Probably... I thought of passing my iPod Nano 7g through USB/IP to my Proxmox Windows iTunes VM, but I never had the urge to do it. Although it'd probably work and would be great in combinaton with Wireguard on vacation, I did not want to setup a "risky" driver / kernel module on my main proxmox server :-) USB passthrough always was enough.

    I'm on my phone so I can only do so much digging, but from the usbip sourceforge page that's linked above, it says that development has moved into the Linux kernel: For Linux, the source code of usbip was merged into the staging tree, and finally has been moved to the mainline since Linux-3.17. Development is ongoing in the kernel community, not here. Linux distributions will provide binary packages of usbip.*
