The usbmon: USB monitoring framework

personal: http://people.redhat.com/zaitcev/linux/

In this talk Pete talked about a tool called usbmon which is a simple command-line tool for displaying what's happening on a USB line. At this point the tool is quite rudimentary but hopefully it would be nice one day to have something along the same lines as, say, tcpdump or ethreal but for the USB stack. One of the tricky parts of this vision is the fact that sometimes protocols are stacked on top of each other, e.g. such as using the SCSI system over USB to talk to block devices.
