What is SnakeUsbIP?
SnakeUSBIP is a Windows-native USB/IP client that provides a comprehensive graphical control layer over the USB/IP protocol and its associated VHCI (Virtual Host Controller Interface) driver stack. It interacts directly with the Windows USB/IP kernel components to manage device enumeration, interface claiming, endpoint mapping, and virtual bus attachment. The application handles backend host negotiation, TCP transport initialization, and protocol-level handshakes required for exporting and importing USB device descriptors, configuration tables, and interface endpoints.
Through its GUI, SnakeUSBIP exposes low-level operations such as attaching/detaching remote USB functions, monitoring descriptor changes, handling isochronous and bulk transfer endpoints, and managing reconnection logic for unstable or high-latency networks. It integrates seamlessly with homelab environments, embedded systems, SBC-based USB servers, and virtualization platforms, enabling Windows to consume remote USB devices as if they were physically connected to the local host. By abstracting kernel-level operations and CLI tooling, SnakeUSBIP provides a stable, efficient, and developer-friendly interface for advanced USB/IP workflows.
