Hi Sandeep,

Answer is simple - you can't! Host to Host connection is impossible and has never been a part of the USB specification.

In any USB system there can exist only one Host. The USB specification can be freely downloaded from www.usb.org. I suggest you take some time and study it.

Dear Biser,

I understood that point. But my quetion is how I can analyse the packets from my host Microprocessor.

My requirement is simple. I need to analyse the packets from my host MPU.

Please advise....

You need an USB analyzer for this.
