<div><div style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman">The dying VM will of course not send anything, it's dead. Your node, however, knows of all the links and monitors its processes has with other nodes. It will detect that it has lost contact with the other node and and then send the exit signals and monitor information to its local processes. This may take some time before it happens.<br>

<li>to have a single 'node monitoring' process which will then deal with a node failure</li></ul><div>Any input welcome :)</div></div><div><br></div><div>r.</div></div>
