An RLINK is associated with an RVG and establishes the link between the Primary and a Secondary RVG. Each RLINK associated with a Primary RVG represents one Secondary. Each RLINK associated with a Secondary RVG represents the Primary. The attributes of an RLINK specify the replication parameters for the corresponding Secondary. For example, the network to be used for replication between the Primary and the Secondary can be specified as the attribute of the RLINK.

A Primary RVG can have up to 32 associated RLINKs. Although a Secondary RVG can also have 32 associated RLINKs, it can have only one active RLINK; this active RLINK represents the Primary that is currently replicating to this Secondary RVG.
