    Each USB device gets a unique 7-bit identifier when it's connected, so the absolute number of devices that can be connected to a single Host is 127.

    Each device can then have 16 "pipes" to, and 16 pipes from, the host (where a pipe is a single direction connection). For example, a USB camera is actually two devices in one, a camera and a microphone, and both will have two pipes, one to upload captured data and one to receive commands.

    It's all quite complicated, which it has to be to allow you to hot swap devices.
