A route with no intermediate sites is called a direct route. A system with direct routes results in network connections between source and destination Replication Servers.
For example, in this figure, a seven-site enterprise is shown in a star configuration, with one primary site and six replicate sites. Each replicate site has a route originating at the primary site. All six routes from the primary site are direct. Thus, the primary Replication Server has six stable queues and six RSI threads connected through the network to the six replicate sites.
If the replicate site TKO_RS is to submit request functions to the primary site NY_RS, your system would also require a direct route from TKO_RS to NY_RS, in addition to the direct route from NY_RS to TKO_RS.
