In a full mesh replication topology, each node replicates to every other node
In a hub and spoke technology, one or two hub servers each connect to multiple spokes,
as shown in Figure 2-9. If there is more than one hub, the hubs also connect to each other. A
hub and spoke topology requires a minimum of three members (a hub and two spokes), and
works well in a publication or branch office scenario in which most changes originate at the
hub and are replicated out to the spokes. Changes that originate at a spoke have at least two
replication hops before being fully replicated to all members of the replication group.

Finally, you need to configure the replication schedule and bandwidth, as covered in the
following “Configuring replication scheduling” section.
