A guess.

Based on what?

Based on the device-to-device, peer packet transmission description.

USB already has a data transfer protocol, in which one end is the controller or master, and the other the slave. The diagram and description made it look more like a peer-to-peer foundation for building other things.

So, my guess was direct device-to-device networking over USB, and... other stuff. Hence, my comment was a guess about what it could be used for, and a question about what it could be used for, because (as I said) its purpose was not clear to me.

I don't understand what are you referring to? What description?
