Balance Process Service Loads

When many Oracle MaxRep Replication Engines use a single process service, degraded performance occurs.

You can add additional network interface cards (NICs) to the process server and assign the additional ports to the network. Bandwidth control becomes possible if the Replication Engines use separate NIC cards for communication.

By default all the replication traffic is handled by eth0 Ethernet port.
