Replication Factor

The Replication Factor refers to the number of copies (or "replicas") of the file or data stored across different nodes or locations in the network. It's a critical parameter, ensuring data redundancy, availability, and fault tolerance.

The minimum replication factor is 2, meaning that at a given point of time Kapsul ensures that there are two copies of the file/data exists.

The maximum replication factor is a typical replication factor is between 2 and 5, balancing redundancy and resource use.

Guess what, these parameters can be configurable by the network owner at the time of networt creation 🚀.
