Impact of environment
Normally, the application-level replication is fast and efficient. However, several environmental measurements can affect the delay of data and configuration changes made on one node being available on the rest of the replicated application nodes.
For example, if a database deadlock does not allow changes to be saved on a database, none of the application nodes connected to that database, even the one where the change originated, will not be able to display the change.
The subsections below are listed in the order they can impact the change recording transmission delay, from more to less:
Database server issues
Application server resources
Network latency
Bandwidth constraints
