replication partner

replication partner: A domain controller that acts as a replication source for a given domain controller. The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) determines which servers are best suited to replicate with each other, and it generates the list of domain controllers that are candidates for replication partners from the list of domain controllers in the site on the basis of connectivity, history of successful replication, and matching of full and partial replicas. A domain controller has some number of direct replication partners with which it replicates for a given directory partition. The other domain controllers in the site replicate transitively with this domain controller.
