Hello Ed: You may find this document helpful -- even though it only mentions Windows 2000, it will give you specific perfmon characteristics to monitor.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742457.aspx#ECAA I was unable to find any similar document specifically for Windows 2008 or 2012, and so I imagine much if not all of this still holds true (at least in support of your mission to measure AD replication trafffic). Unfortunately I don't have any AD servers to test this out against, and apologize in advance if this ends up being a wild goose chase.
