The second replication schedule occurs every 3 hours be default and is controlled by the Intersite Topology Generator (ISTG).

Can a domain controller establish replication links with other sites?

Some domain controllers will also establish replication links with domain controllers in other sites, provided that the domain controllers in question were designated as preferred bridgehead servers or were selected as such automatically by ISTG ( Inter-Site Topology Generator, a component of KCC).
