Peer-to peer replication queries

  • I would like to know when configuring Peer-to-peer replication

    from SSMS in sql 2012 ent edition,why u have to configure transaction replication first and then do peer-to peer from ssms?????

  • Peer-to-Peer replication builds on the foundation of transactional replication, and can be viewed as a multiple-node transactional replication with each node published to other nodes, and at the same time, subscribed to other nodes.

    See:

  • Hi,

    If you look closely you will see Peer to Peer replication is a twisted flavor of Transactional replication where in every node is a publisher and every node is subscriber.

    In other words you can see Peer to Peer replication as multiple instances of Transactional replication combined into one setup.

    Still it is transactional replication nothing more.

    Hope it Helps..!!
