As for AFR, the client takes care of the work.
servers are essentially just network

don't replicate between each others at all.
So for n mirrored servers, the client bandwidth increases n-fold?
That's quite shocking...
Yes, it is quite shocking - and doesn't make much sense to me, either.
Instead, you can have the servers be responsible for AFR, and let the
clients be unaware of each other. This solves the n-fold bandwidth
issue entirely (and seems more "normal").
Are you saying there is a way to configure gluster to do this? How?
Thanks.
