A directory server that is slow in replaying changes is assigned a DEGRADED_STATUS. The stage at which the server is regarded as “too slow” is defined by the degraded status threshold and is configurable, based on the number of updates queued in the replication server for that directory server.
When the degraded status threshold is reached, the directory server assumes a degraded status and is considered to be unable to send acknowledgments in time. A server with this status can have an impact on assured replication, as replication servers no longer wait for an acknowledgment from this server before returning their own acknowledgments.
