Ceph network setup for Wan rbd replication

Hello,

Anyone has some practical docs on network connectivity required for ceph rbd replication?

Let's assume I have a dedicated lacp group for internal cluster communication (all the private traffic+ceph client net there) and another one for "production traffic and WAN" in two clusters in two locations.

Does rbd mirror (for disaster recovery, so production normally stays in site A and gets replicated to site B only for use in a "black site" event) need connectivity between internal segments or via WAN links?

I seem to not be lucky finding that in
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Ceph_RBD_Mirroring

It seems to me like rbd-mirror works in NTERNAL cluster network - (ceph client net)

How do you realistically connect internal net between the two sites over WAN?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
