<div>I agree that it would be really nice way to send information around to a cluster of Erlang VMs if you can tolerate how gossip protocols behave so it's definitely on my radar. If anyone else is interested in working on this, I would be willing to help :)<br></div>

<div>In the meantime, if you want to see an Erlang-y implementation of a gossip protocol as a model, you could look at how Basho did its anti-entropy stuff in riak core (as one example)<br></div>

<div>(Note: this is the "develop" branch which is kind of the bleeding edge of the codebase. Try 1.4 branch if you want a "stable" view of the code.)<br></div>

<div dir="ltr">Mitchell Hashimoto (author of Vagrant and Packer) has another project, it is serf.<div> </div>
<div>Serf is an implementation of protocol that maintains cluster of nodes. Sounds like a replacement to erlang distribution, but it is a bit different.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>At first, it doesn't do any magic interconnection with transparent Pid and message passing to other nodes. It only maintains persistence of nodes in a more probabilistic manner (UDP pinging).<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone looked at it? Maybe someone has tried to implement it?<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm interested in this approach because it doesn't require to give full access to local system for remote user as it happens with erlang interconnect.<br></div>
