Hello,

I want to set up a site to site between 2 locations, and the latency is 160-180 milliseconds between clients and domain controllers.

what maximum recommended latency should i not exceed?

I need to know if it pays to add a DC to the site or not.

    Probably is more about bandwidth than latency. Some guidelines here.
