> When a node connects to another node in a running cluster, it gets a list of nodes already in the cluster. It then establishes connections to every one of them automatically. You end up with a fully connected mesh. That is the default behavior, and the reason why large erlang clusters become problematic (n*n connections). There are ways to override this behavior at a loss of some functionality.<br>
