Network traffic

Hi!

Our office (A) is connected to a branch office (B) with a bridge 512kps. A
has a novell server, B has nt4 domain. I am now setting up a new 2003 DC at
A and will soon upgrade nt4 to 2003 at B and join A:s new DC. The link
between B and A is mainly used by B:s users when they connect to Citrix
server in A. Will nettraffic increase much when A and B got 2003 servers and
they´ll try to replicate? 512kps it´s a bit slow even today. Will 2Mbs be
enough?

As I recall, it might be during the initial replication, but it shouldn't on
subsequent updates. Unlike NT4, 2003 server only replicates the changes up
and down the line. As well, replication info between Domain Controllers is
compressed.

If all that weren't enough, you can schedule the replication time for
non-peak periods using the Sites and Services snap in on the MMC.

That should ease some of the bandwidth restrictions you're faced with.

If I'm wrong on this, someone correct me please.
