AP EMLSR Manager
----------------
A manager which takes EMLSR specific decisions can also be installed on the AP MLD side. The base
class is named ``ApEmlsrManager``, which is inherited by the ``DefaultApEmlsrManager`` and the
``AdvancedApEmlsrManager``. One of the choices that the AP MLD has to take is how to behave in case
the transmission of an ICF fails due to a cross link collision, i.e., an ICF that is addressed to
EMLSR client(s) fails because the EMLSR client(s) are sending or have sent an ICF on another EMLSR
link. By default, an ICF failure is treated just like any other failure: the contention window is
updated and the failure is notified to the remote station manager. However, the advanced AP EMLSR
manager provides two attributes, ``UpdateCwAfterFailedIcf`` and ``ReportFailedIcf``, that can be
used, respectively, to control whether to update the contention window and report the failure to the
remote station manager in case of ICF failure due to cross link collision.
