Replication protocol compatibility with Sun isn't a supported or tested
feature, but it should work provided Sun haven't changed their
product to make it incompatible since the two codelines diverged.
    

Anyone know exactly what the differences are between Fedora DS and
Sun's current offering?  We just rolled out Sun's DS, but if I can get
the exact same functionality out of FedoraDS, I may switch to that
instead and save the $$$ licensing fee.

  

Actually, after posting I remembered that there is some 'official' support
for what's called migration from some version(s) of Sun DS. Migration
does include support for progressive upgrade of replicated servers,
which in turn implies support for inter-product replication. Someone else
will need to say what the exact level of support is and which versions
because I don't have that information to hand.

Now, to answer your question the two products have essentially the
same replication functionality. AFAIK DS7.1 has a superset of all
Sun's current product replication functionality.
