[erlang-questions] large Erlang clusters

[Viktor Sovietov]

Hi Serge

As far as I know you're only limited with the maximum number of sockets
which are available on your system and with number of atoms which can be
used as node names.
We tested 600 nodes cluster, but I honestly can't recall if there were any
patches to BEAM to increase mentioned parameters.

Sincerely,

--Viktor
