Clustered nodes are connected via 1 tcp connection, which must also<br>
transport a (erlang) heartbeat. If your big message takes more time to<br>
transfer between nodes than the heartbeat timeout (anywhere between<br>
~20-45 seconds if I'm correct), the cluster will break and your<br>
message is lost.<br></blockquote><div><br>Wow! Is that really the case? Erlang's distribution breaks if no heartbeats have been received *even if there's traffic coming in on the wire*? Sounds like an Erlang bug. Or perhaps there's some subtlety in the design I'm not seeing!<br>
