Interview Question in Replication
Interview Question :: How much bandwidth does transactional database replication consume
My company uses a really bad POS system with about 150 clients. The POS software is garbage. Each of the cash registers has a SQL Server on it, and each connects to the central database server. The clients check for replication about once every 5 minutes. They are constantly replicating day and night, and on top of this each one has a service on it that pings the database server continuously. (When pinging stops the server assumes a problem.)
If all of this is done on a 100 Mb infrastructure, is all this activity going to saturate the line to the server? (These things are all continuously 24/7/365 replicating and pinging.)
