Peer-to-Peer Configuration
In peer-to-peer replication, illustrated in the following figure, each Ingres Replicator site plays a sending and receiving role on a peer basis with other target databases. There is no hierarchical relationship between the various servers.
The peer-to-peer arrangement implies that each Ingres Replicator site is functioning autonomously, using its own replicated database. All sites have the same information by having their own copies of an enterprise database.
Note:  Although the following figure shows only two databases, a peer-to-peer scheme can encompass more than two, with each database transmitting directly to each of the other databases.
