Claim: replace the fully connected mesh with a Distributed Erlang overlay that garbage‑collects idle TCP links and implements global name registration via a Kademlia DHT so lookups take O(log n). Implementation uses consistent hashing, replication to configurable K nodes, iterative/recursive lookups and an extra liveness round‑trip instead of monitors. Current prototype handles hundreds of nodes (tests up to 350 nodes) and shows large speedups versus the old global while trading constant extra lookup work for far fewer connections.
