[erlang-questions] very large distributed implementation?

[Mojito Sorbet]

Another issue is the preference for Erlang to connect all nodes in a
fully connected mesh of TCP links.   That is N-1 links per node.  This
can be disabled, and result  in tree connections instead of mesh
connections, but depending on the problem being solved maybe only
occasional connectivity is required.
