I think, the two are equivalents, in the sense that they works both.
In your implementation, B is the server, A is the client. In the mine,
B is the client, A is the server.
Anyway, your imp. is more logical, because machine B, where the pointer
live, acts as mouse server; so, it is better if it will act also
as tcp server.

True, or that should be a sense-less experiment, based on the
ESP protocol. But to use an ethernet cable in order to attach
a mouse on a computer is very exotic :-)
