Hi Liju Alas we can’t use quotas directly to throttle replication. The problem is that, currently, fetch requests from followers include critical traffic (the replication of produce requests) as well as non critical traffic (brokers catching up etc) so we can’t apply the current quotas mechanism directly. We’re looking at this problem now though and there’ll be a KIP coming out shortly.
