Abstract: Certain aspects of a method and system for universal serial bus (USB) re-direct (USB-R) over a network may comprise receiving at a local client device via a network, remote client device detection data corresponding to a remote client device that is plugged into a remote system. The local client device may request access to the remote client device that is plugged into the remote system by communicating device access data. The remote client device that is plugged into the remote system may be mapped as a USB device at the local client device. The local client device may receive information from the remote system via the network, confirming the requested access to the remote client device that is plugged into the remote system.
