+usbredir supports USB device filtering configurable by filter string
+
+Configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For redirection to work, the virtual machine must have an USB2 EHCI controller
+(this implies 3 additional UHCI controllers). It also needs to have Spice
+channels for USB redirection. The number of such channels correspond to the
+number of USB devices that it will be possible to redirect at the same time.
+
+Using virt-manager
+++++++++++++++++++
+Virtual machines created with virt-manager should have a USB controller by
+default. In the virtual machine details, select "Controller USB" in the left
+pane, and make sure its model is set to USB2. You can then click on "Add
+Hardware" and add as many "USB Redirection" items as the number of USB devices
+you want to be able to redirect simultaneously.
+
+Using libvirt

+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-ehci1'/>
+  <controller type='usb' index='0' model='ich9-uhci1'>

+
+Client
+++++++
+
+The client needs to have support for USB redirection. In remote-viewer, you can
+select which USB devices to redirect in "File/USB device" selection once the
+Spice connection is established. There are also various command line redirection
+options which are described when running remote-viewer with --help-spice.
+
+To get USB redirection working on Windows clients, you need to install
+`UsbDk <http://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/usbdk/>`__

+
+
+Filter String Format
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A filter is being used for setting blocking or autoconnect rules for usb
+devices. It consists of one or more rules, where each rule has the form of:
+
+**@class,@vendor,@product,@version,@allow**
+
+Use -1 for @class/@vendor/@product/@version to accept any value.
+
+And the rules themselves are concatenated like this:
+
+**@rule1|@rule2|@rule3**
+
+E.g. client's default setting filters out HID (class 0x03) USB devices from
+auto connect and auto connects anything else. Note the explicit allow rule at
+the end, this is necessary since by default all devices without a matching
+filter rule will not auto-connect.
+
+Client's default filter string is 0x03,-1,-1,-1,0|-1,-1,-1,-1,1
+
+
+Client
+^^^^^^
+
+Set a string specifying a filter to use to determine which USB devices
+to **autoconnect** when plugged in.
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+  remote-viewer --spice-usbredir-redirect-on-connect="0x03,-1,-1,-1,0|-1,-1,-1,-1,1"
+
+Host
+^^^^
+
+Set a string specifying a filter to use to determine which USB devices
+are **allowed\\blocked** to redirect usb traffic to the guest.
+
+
+
+Using QEMU
+++++++++++
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+   -device usb-redir,filter='0x03:-1:-1:-1:0|-1:-1:-1:-1:1',chardev=usbredirchardev1,id=usbredirdev1
+
+Note that filter string in QEMU cmd should be used with **':'** rules separator.
+
+Using libvirt
++++++++++++++
+
+.. code-block:: XML
+
+  ...
+  <devices>
+   ...
+    <redirfilter>
+      <usbdev class='0x08' vendor='0x1234' product='0xbeef' version='2.56' allow='yes'/>
