IIUC, walsender tries hard to send WAL as fast as possible to reduce replication lag and transaction response time, so it doesn't try to peek each WAL record. I think it's good. In any case, the WAL can get corrupt during transmission, and writing and reading on the standby. So, the standby needs to check the WAL record CRC. Regards Takayuki Tsunakawa
