The NodeReplicationPolicy section has been implemented in Metacat. The first around supports allowedNode and allowedObjectFormat. The ticket is here.
However, we found that the cn part should be implemented as well. If CN has no knowledge about allowedNode and allowedObjectFormat of the given MN, it will send anything to that MN. However, that MN will reject most of replication requests if they don't come from the allowedNode. This will lead the MN being put into the black list. So cn should only send the replication requests which come from allowedNode with allowedObjectFormat.
