as I understand it, the direct-connect devices that exist now for ptp usb
networking have a small chunk of memory that both masters can access.  I
don't see any reason that a USB2  device with a pair of significant-sized fifos 
wouldn't work fine and remain cheap.  these days, quite large amounts of ram
(32M or so) can be put on a single chip.
