A site link defines the direction of Active Directory replication between sites. You can use either RPC over IP or SMTP as the transport protocol for moving replication data over a site link.
Open Active Directory Sites and Services from click Start>Administrative Tools>Active Directory Sites and Services
Open inter-site transport folder from Active Directory Sites and Services/Sites/Inter-Site Transports – inter-site transport folder that contains the type of link you are going to configure
In the details pane, right-click the site link whose cost you want to set, and then click Properties.
In Cost, enter a value for the cost of replication.

The default value of a site link cost can be changed from any value between 1 and 99,999. That range gives you a lot of freedom to configure any combination of environment and utilization link speeds.
