Public network is clients-to-OSD traffic - and if you have NOT explicitely defined cluster network, than also OSD-to-OSD replication takes place over same network.
Otherwise, you can define public and cluster(private) network - so OSD replication will happen over dedicated NICs (cluster network) and thus speed up. If i.e. replica count on pool is 3, that means, each 1GB of data writen to some particualr OSD, will generate 3 x 1GB of more writes, to the replicas... - which ideally will take place over separate NICs to speed up things...
