Sites can be linked using RPC over IP or SMTP. Once you define the site links, schedules, cost factors and any site link bridges (if appropriate) the Knowledge Consistency Checker can then create the connection objects providing the site links are transitive in nature.

Windows 2000 includes a component called the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) which automatically manages the replication within a site. A bi-directional ring topology is used intra-site using RPC (Remote Procedure Call) over TCP/IP without any kind of compression. This is because domain controllers within a site are thought to be on a fast network (as per the definition of a site) and the extra processing required to compress/uncompress is undesirable.

PicSkinner was written specifically for XP, but using the '.Net Framework' means that it will work on any Windows operating system which has the 'dot net framework redistributable' or 'dot net framework SDK' v1.1 installed.
