4.5 PRP-HSR Coupling
A HSR may be coupled to a PRP network through two RedBoxes, one for each LAN as
shown in the figure here below. In this case, the RedBoxes are configured to support
PRP traffic on the interlink and HSR traffic on the ring ports.
The sequence number from the PRP RCT is reused for the HSR tag and vice versa, to
allow frame identification from one network to the other and to identify pairs and
duplicates on the HSR ring, introduced by a twofold injection into the ring through the
two HSR RedBoxes.
