Minimizing Replication Traffic

Careful choice and placement of tree replicas can minimize replication traffic on the network.

• Make sure that the replica containing the User object is on the server nearest the user.
• Do not create more partition replicas than you need. The more replicas, the more traffic required to synchronize them all.
