+     Logical replication allows a database server to send a stream of data
+     modifications to another server.  <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>
+     logical replication constructs a stream of logical data modifications
+     from the WAL.  Logical replication allows the data changes from
+     individual tables to be replicated.  Logical replication doesn't require
+     a particular server to be designated as a master or a replica but allows
+     data to flow in multiple directions.  For more information on logical
+     replication, see <xref linkend="logical-replication">.  Through the
+     logical decoding interface (<xref linkend="logicaldecoding">),
+     third-party extensions can also provide similar functionality.
