With iPRP the redundant partners (here: AP1 and AP3 or client A and client B) communicate
with each other via a switch to prevent the two redundant PRP frames from arriving at the
RedBox with too great a time difference.
If for example the communication between AP1 and client A is very slow, the slower frame is
discarded at the receiving end.
You configure iPRP in "iFeatures > iPRP (Page 416)".
