Recommended Inter-Site Transport for AD



Current, a number of my internal AD servers are using RPC for their default transport, in their NTDS settings. I recall at a conference that changing these from RPC to IP for transport is the recommended option. Is this still true?

I ask because I am experiencing some replication slowness within my AD domain, (Exchange Server SA not being able to start occassionally with the error that replication throughout the domain hasn't completed), and I'm wondering if changing the transport to IP would help?
