Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services > 10. Replication Design > Replication Checklist

Replication Checklist

• Create a map of your organization's physical network.

• Inventory your existing and planned directory-enabled applications, and understand the load they will generate.

• Note on the map the locations of your directory-enabled applications.

• Locate at least one replica within each network location connected via a slower and/or unreliable network link.

• Add additional replicas to handle the client load. Optionally, create dedicated replicas for directory-enabled applications that make extensive use of the directory.
