The primary difference between universal groups and global groups in windows server 2012 R2 is that Global groups utilize fewer data in the global catalog. So, in considering replication traffic, universal groups should be within a site. The set of all objects in an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest is called the global catalog.
