So just to be clear, the test_network and test_direct tests pass, but
you are encountering problems when running your own code? If so, please
post a reproducible test case and I am sure we will be able to track
down the cause of the behaviour you are seeing.

The documentation talks about the API providing a layer of abstraction
over the internal server APIs. That means the code using the erlang
client API won't have to change with every change to the internal server
APIs, but the client lib implementation does, of course, need to track
the changes to the server code.
