How to configure Inter or Intra-Site Topology Generator (ISTG) in Active Directory
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) is an active directory process that runs on domain controllers and automatically identifies or calculates the most efficient replication topology for the network using data provided by the network in active directory sites and services. To improve replication traffic in most networks, the ISTG might be enabled so that KCC can logically generate (Create) connection objects based on the physical network layer. This is good because KCC will only create connection objects in active directory if it is required for a particular site.
