Question: How LeoFS communicate between storage nodes? #1186

I have seen other distributed file projects that uses Http API to communicate between nodes, i am trying to understand what is the strategy LeoFS uses to replicate the files between storage nodes? Is there a persistent network connection and specific data transmission protocol? Or it uses HTTP requests to replicate the data?

We’ve been publishing LeoFS’ documentation, which includes LeoFS Documentation / LeoFS’ Architecture.

Really thanks for your quick reply, i see in the docs that inter node communication uses Erlang EPC module, is it true for the "files data" transmission part also?
