Does this switch discard duplicates or does it not? If it does, what
algorithm does it use? Does it not need some sort of runtime
communication with the hsr master, like for the nodes table?
How many streams can it keep track of? What happens when the ring is
larger than the switch can keep track of in its internal Link Redundancy
Entity?
