Packet transportation methods and configuration
The method you choose for transporting packets between replicas depends on connectivity. If your replicas do not have IP connectivity, you must use a file-based transport method. If your replicas have connectivity, you can use the store-and-forward facility.
Store-and-forward
The MultiSite store-and-forward facility (the shipping server) is a file-transfer service that automates the transport phase of replica creation and synchronization. It can handle packets of any size (up to the maximum packet size specified in the shipping.conf file on Linux™ and the UNIX™ system or the MultiSite Control Panel on Windows™), can route files through a series of MultiSite hosts (one hop at a time), and includes support for handling data-communications failures.
