Hi All, <br><br>This is my first post to the list, so a big hello from Thailand to kick things off.<br><br>My question is about passing large binaries between nodes. I have read that if you pass a binary around the same node then there is only one copy which is ref counted and stored on a separate stack. This is great, but what happens when you send the same binary to another node in separate messages. Does Erlang know its sent the binary before and after the first time send some form of reference or will it send the same binary data multiple times. The use case for this is broadcasting a binary message to multiple processes on each node.
