Problem:

How will the traffic flow in a scenario where there are:

Two WAN links of 10 Mbps and 5 Mbps and
Replication is activated with a replication factor 2, and
"Weighted Round Robin" is the connection selection method in use

Scenario Assumption: 6 Mbps of traffic from LAN 1 needs replication.

Solution:

Replication works with Simple Round Robin selection method. It picks the next available path in the same priority or next higher priority and sends a copy of the packet.

In the assumed scenario, 6 Mbps traffic coming from LAN 1 is sent with replication on both the links. Traffic is replicated and shared with the available bandwidth of the WAN links based on their priority.
