USB terminology
Term Description/explanation
Host,
Function
A USB network consists of one master and multiple slave devices in a star
topology as illustrated below:
The master device (referred to as the “Host”) is on top of all other slave devices
(called “Function”). A computer is the most common USB host. Any device that
has a USB host controller and related hardware and software installed can also
become a USB host. A USB function can be a USB mouse, keyboard or storage
device.
A maximum of 7 tiers (including the root tier) are allowed in a single USB
network. Note that a USB device that performs both as a hub and a function
occupies two tiers.
