The network packet size on the connection to the primary Replication Server.
The value of the rs_packet_size parameter is the maximum size (in bytes) of the network packets handled by the TCP/IP network protocol.
The Replication Agent rs_packet_size parameter is equivalent to the Replication Server rs_packet_size parameter.
When the network packet size is smaller, more packets must be processed to transmit a given amount of data to Replication Server. When the network packet size is larger, more system resources are consumed to process the packets.
The optimum value of the rs_packet_size parameter is based on the nature of the typical data replicated. If the typical operation is very large, a larger packet size is more efficient.
A larger value of the rs_packet_size parameter is more efficient when the value of the lti_batch_mode parameter is true.
See the Replication Agent Administration Guide for more information about setting up Replication Agent connection configuration parameters.
