It is a Transactional replication.

The no replicated commands is at the Distributor only.

I can see the log reader sending commands frequently to the Distributor. The distributor is growing fast.

I made a backup earlier of the distributor to truncate the log at the publisher.

The log_reader keeps blocking the cleaning jobs and my replication monitor screen as well.

There is a big job running at the publisher with a 50GB of transact log.

Below is extract of the results:
