From the ida ReRouter, printer data will be passed transparently through
the TCP/IP protocol and repacked into the format of a bi-directional
TCP/IP protocol called “PPR/PPD” ( Page Printer RemotePage Printer
Daemon).
In the following is illustrated how the ida ReRouter could be applied. See
Fig. 1.2: "ida ReRouter in Token Ring Environment" and
Fig. 1.3: "ida ReRouter in Ethernet Environment".
