Common Replication Scenarios
Figure 6-4
The total number of supplier servers you can have in any replication environment
is limited to four. However, the number of consumer servers that hold the
read-only replicas is not limited.
NOTE
Figure 6-5 shows the replication traffic in an environment with two suppliers
(read-write replicas in the illustration), and two consumers (read-only replicas in
the illustration). This figure shows that the consumers can be updated by both
suppliers. The supplier servers ensure that the changes do not collide.
