SUMMARY
This article describes when Microsoft Exchange replication traffic is
compressed.
MORE INFORMATION
Directory Replication Traffic:
Inter-site directory replication traffic is compressed by the Microsoft
Exchange Directory service (DS) before these messages are submitted to the
Microsoft Exchange Message Transfer Agent (MTA). This is done regardless of
the underlying message transport.
Intra-site directory replication traffic is not compressed.
Folder Replication Traffic
Only the message body is compressed for both inter and intra-site folder
replication. Attachments are not compressed. Transports, such as RAS, may
compress lower level data streams.
