<p>
Sites in a replication group may be configured to use bulk
transfer by calling the <a href="../api_reference/C/repconfig.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_config()</a> method with the
<a href="../api_reference/C/repconfig.html#config_DB_REP_CONF_BULK" class="olink">DB_REP_CONF_BULK</a> flag. When configured for bulk transfer,
sites will accumulate records in a buffer and transfer them to
another site in a single network transfer. Configuring bulk
transfer makes sense for master sites, of course.
Additionally, applications using client-to-client
synchronization may find it helpful to configure bulk transfer
for client sites as well.
</p>
<p>
When a master is generating new log records, or any
information request is made of a master, and bulk transfer has
been configured, records will accumulate in a bulk buffer. The
bulk buffer will be sent to the client if either the buffer is
full or if a permanent record (for example, a transaction
commit or checkpoint record) is queued for the client.
</p>
<p>
When a client is responding to another client's request for
information, and bulk transfer has been configured, records
will accumulate in a bulk buffer. The bulk buffer will be sent
to the client when the buffer is full or when the client's
request has been satisfied; no particular type of record will
cause the buffer to be sent.
</p>
<p>
The size of the bulk buffer itself is internally determined
and cannot be configured. However, the overall size of a
transfer may be limited using the <a href="../api_reference/C/repset_limit.html" class="olink">DB_ENV->rep_set_limit()</a> method.
