I just stumbled across this blog post that explains many (all?) of the various
types of replication within AD:

The default is to replicate once per hour within a site, and once every 180

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.
