+IEC 62439-3 (HSR/PRP) +--------------------- + +The Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is a network redundancy protocol which +works by duplicating and sequence numbering packets through two independent L2 +networks (which are unaware of the PRP tail tags carried in the packets), and +eliminating the duplicates at the receiver. The High-availability Seamless +Redundancy (HSR) protocol is similar in concept, except all nodes that carry +the redundant traffic are aware of the fact that it is HSR-tagged (because HSR +uses a header with an EtherType of 0x892f) and are physically connected in a +ring topology. Both HSR and PRP use supervision frames for monitoring the
I don't know HSR/PRP terms. Should it be supervisory instead of supervision?

Either "discovering other nodes" or "discovery of other nodes".
+ +In Linux, both HSR and PRP are implemented in the hsr driver, which +instantiates a virtual, stackable network interface with two member ports. +The driver only implements the basic roles of DANH (Doubly Attached Node +implementing HSR) and DANP (Doubly Attached Node implementing PRP); the roles +of RedBox and QuadBox aren't (therefore, bridging a hsr network interface with
In colloquial English, you can get away with just 'aren't'. But in Queens English, you should follow it with something, in this case 'supported'. Andrew
