One of the more compelling use-cases for USB over IP is connecting proprietary licensing dongles to virtual machines.

Are those still commonly used?

can't you use vt-d and have it passthrough?

That still ties it to a physical VM host doesn't it - what happens if you want to host the VM in a cluster and have it migrate?

You don't even need VT-d for USB devices, only PCI one.
