I'm trying to figure out how I can limit the number of replication jobs that will run at one time. I'd like to make it so only 1 job is active at a time. This is more to control the data going out the replication network interface then controlling load on the disk pool. I have a pretty good feel for doing that with the concurrent writes in the STU and Limit I/O streams in the disk pool, and using an SLP window to force the replication to run outside of the backups.
The WAN connection we have is very slow, and it's not going to be changed, already tried to fight that battle. I've already set the Max size of the job to 100GB, and max images to 50 to try and keep the jobs relatively small. The disk resource multiplier is set to 2, not sure if that will do what I want anyway. I'm open to any suggestions.
The NIC on the media server is 100Mb/s, and the WAN is 50Mb/s
