Load per node under replication

Adding a replica multiplies write work by one unit and divides nothing on the write side.

bytes per node = \frac{D R}{N}, work per node = \frac{R w + r}{N}

Worked examples, recomputed

Every number the mechanisms quote for this relationship is recomputed from it, so none of them disagrees with it.

Each mechanism states it in its own names. The general symbol each name stands for is shown with it.
