I did some work on this. All true realtime protocols are based on polling from 
a single controller, cf MIL-STD-1553.. If you allow real interrupts, you 
can't make delivery assurances for other traffic (eg isochronous). That said, 
USB wasn't intended to do hard real-time, and you need to evaluate the 
application against the USB protocols.

Don't know - not used CAN.
