How can you limit the amount of bandwidth used by DFS replication?

You work as a Network Administrator at AIOTestking.com. AIOTestking.com has an Active Directory
Domain Services (AD DS) domain named AIOTestking.com. All servers in the AIOTestking.com domain
have Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 installed.
AIOTestking.com has a main office and a branch office. The two offices are connected by a slow
WAN link.
A server in the main office named TESTKING-SR21 runs the File and Storage Services and
Distributed File System roles. A server in the branch office named TESTKING-SR22 also runs the

File and Storage Services and Distributed File System roles.
Shared folders on TESTKING-SR21 and TESTKING-SR22 are replicated to each other using DFS
Replication (DFSR).
You discover that DFS replication between the two servers is using too much bandwidth over the
WAN link.
How can you limit the amount of bandwidth used by DFS replication?

    Both A & B will do the trick:

    “Parameters
    -BandwidthDetail

    Specifies a custom schedule value string.

    The schedule value defines the settings for each 15-minute interval block with its bandwidth, with 4 blocks to a set, where each set represents 1 hour. There are 24 sets. The time starts at 00:00 and ends at 24:00. The valid settings on a 15-minute block are 0 (zero) through F, using hexadecimal. The following shows the mapping of the valid settings:

    0 = No replication
    1 = 16 kilobits per second (Kbps)
    2 = 64 Kbps
    3 = 128 Kbps
    4 = 256 Kbps
    5 = 512 Kbps
    6 = 1 megabit per second (Mbps)
    7 = 2 Mbps
    8 = 4 Mbps
    9 = 8 Mbps
    A = 16 Mbps
    B = 32 Mbps
    C = 64 Mbps
    D = 128 Mbps
    E = 256 Mbps
    F = Full bandwidth replication”

    I want to clarify why I think either will work: In the context of the question the two servers could also be the entire group.

    Answer A is for between two members. This certainly applies.

    Answer B is for a Group. Nothing leads me to believe there are other servers in the replication topology.
