USB Frames
Frame - communication session - frame is a logical construct.
Frames consist of 1 or more packets.
Frames can be viewed as a bi-directional session.
And may use multiple pipes.
All frames are initiated by hub with 1st packet going upstream to
devices.
Subsequent packets within the frame can move between hub and device in
either direction depending on specific activity.
For low and full speed devices, a frame (session) must be completed before
a different one is started.
For high speed (USB 2), protocol exists to split a frame up.
