What else would they be connected to? It's almost as though you're 
looking for problems. (LOL?)

I'm pretty sure it's already been pointed out that's basically a 
historical curiosity as MDI-X is built into most gigabit ethernet 
implementations in the past 15 years.

Yes, and USB is designed to be a mechanism for attaching peripherals, 
not a multi-master communication bus.

That's your perspective (as someone who's stated that you have no 
experience at this). From the perspective of the people who tried to 
help you, you've chosen an obscure solution rather than a well-tested 
and well-documented solution for no apparent reason. (ROFL?) From the 
perspective of someone trying to learn something, you've chosen to learn 
an obscure special-purpose implementation rather than something that's 
fairly universal. (chuckle?)
