3.2.1 Abstract Data Model

Outbound Connection: A logical connection object maintained by the server to represent a connection between itself and a client in a particular replication group. All of the client’s replication requests to the server in the related replication group are made in the context of this logical connection. An outbound connection is created when a client issues a call to the EstablishConnection method.

DFS-R servers terminate logical connections that have been disabled or removed from the updated configuration.<19>

Replicated Folder Session: A logical session maintained by the server for a replicated folder. Every replicated folder session is associated with a single outbound connection, where the replicated folder session’s replicated folder and the outbound connection’s connection both exist in the same replication group. All further client calls pertaining to the associated replicated folder are made within the context of its replicated folder session. A replicated folder session is created when a client issues a call to the EstablishSession method.
