13.1.1 LAN Area Objects
A LAN Area object lets you easily administer WAN traffic policies for a group of servers. After you
create a LAN Area object, you can add servers to or remove servers from the LAN Area object.
When you apply a policy to the LAN Area, that policy applies to all the servers in the LAN Area.
You should create a LAN Area object if you have multiple servers in a LAN that is connected to
other LANs by wide area links. If you do not create a LAN Area object, you must manage each
server’s WAN traffic individually.

Connection
management
Servers in a replica ring require a highly secure connection for transferring
NCP
TM
packets. These secure connections, called virtual client
connections, are established by the connection management process.
The connection management process might also need to establish a virtual
client connection for schema synchronization or backlink processes. Time
synchronization might also require such a connection, depending on the
configuration of time services.
Server status check
Each server without a replica initiates a server status check. It establishes a
connection to the nearest server that holds a writable replica of the partition
containing the Server object.
The server status check runs every six minutes.
