Dedicated replication network
=============================

-------
Summary
-------

Swift's replication process is essential for consistency and availability of
data. By default, replication activity will use the same network interface as
other cluster operations. However, if a replication interface is set in the
ring for a node, that node will send replication traffic on its designated
separate replication network interface. Replication traffic includes REPLICATE
requests and rsync traffic.

To separate the cluster-internal replication traffic from client traffic,
separate replication servers can be used. These replication servers are based
on the standard storage servers, but they listen on the replication IP and
only respond to REPLICATE requests. Storage servers can serve REPLICATE
requests, so an operator can transition to using a separate replication
network with no cluster downtime.

Replication IP and port information is stored in the ring on a per-node basis.
These parameters will be used if they are present, but they are not required.
If this information does not exist or is empty for a particular node, the
node's standard IP and port will be used for replication.
