The amount of time that it takes for a change to be replicated to all domain controllers in an environment is called _convergence_. 2. The default __cost__ of any new site link is 100. 3. Intersite replication uses __compressed__ traffic to reduce the impact to bandwidth on corporate WAN links. 4. The KCC creates a(n) __ dual counter-rotating ring__ to allow replication to take place in the opposite direction in the event that a single domain controller in the replication topology fails. 5. The purpose of the KCC is to create a(n) __replication topology__ between multiple domain controllers within a site as well as between sites. 6. By default, all Active Directory site links are __transitive__. 7. When Active Directory detects a replication conflict in which two objects have been modified nearly simultaneously, the first attribute that Active Directory will use as a tie-breaker is the __version ID__. 8.

1. The KCC is responsible for calculating intrasite replication partners. During this process, what is the maximum number of hops that the KCC will allow between domain controllers? a. 2 b. 3 c. 4 d. 5 The built-in algorithm used by the KCC ensures that any Active Directory site is no more than three hops away from any other Active Directory site. If sites are added to Active Directory, the KCC can create additional
