Linux as a USB hub?

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if it is possible/reasonable to try to turn a linux device with host and OTG ports into something that looks and acts like a USB hub?

The objective is to allow me to monitor the USB traffic from a Windows host to facilitate writing a device emulator on the Linux device.

In particular, I'm trying to create a KVM by emulating a DisplayLink device, and offering HID keyboard and mouse devices on the otg interface.

My thinking is that by connecting the real DisplayLink device to the host ports of e.g. a BeagleBone Black, and connecting the OTG port to a windows box, I can observe/log the USB traffic generated by the Windows box, and the responses from the actual device, and figure out how to make the BeagleBone appear to actually *be* the DisplayLink device.

Is this a sensible idea, or is there a more obvious approach that I am overlooking?

Thanks!
