The bandwidth depends on the size of your site. I don't know of a tool, other than wireshark and watch the ports between DCs http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755994%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#w2k3tr_repto_how_ueyj There could be a performance counter for it.
However I believe your times are wrong. For intra site notification, the delay is three seconds. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc811559%28v=ws.10%29.aspx You can also set inter-site replication to be the same if you want: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739941%28v=ws.10%29.aspx#w2k3tr_repup_tools_amfa http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/61cb88bb-8c61-477f-834e-79ed0c153669 On 2013-03-12 3:34 PM, "Edward Ned Harvey (lopser)" <lop...@nedharvey.com> wrote: > The default is to replicate once per hour within a site, and once every > 180 minutes inter-site.
