The default is to replicate once per hour within a site, and once every 180 minutes inter-site. There are lots of articles out there describing how to architect your replication toplogy, and all the reasons why, and they all boil down to conserving bandwidth.
In my mind, AD replication is a tiny amount of data, and I think I would like to tweak the replication frequency to absolute maximum speed. (Which is 4 times per hour within a site, and once every 15 minutes inter-site.) I browsed around and found a list of ports & protocols used in AD replication, and there are a ton. LDAP, Kerberos, Ping (ICMP Echo), RCP, etc. Sure I *can* create a wireshark capture to view that traffic, but it would be a huge massive capture filter, very complex. So my question is: Does anybody know any way to measure the bandwidth used by AD replication? I am looking to test my assumption that it's a tiny amount of traffic, basically irrelevant in the modern age where the slowest connection is 3 Mbit.
