See my comment above that you specifically replied to.

Lasp [in high-scalability mode] does not connect in a mesh, and the links I provided demonstrate that we do not connect in a mesh.

I specifically provided a link in the comment [with a link to an academic publication and a paper] you responded to about how we do non-full mesh and achieve 1000+ nodes.

Antidote only uses distributed Erlang inside of a single cluster limiting a single cluster to 100+ nodes. The multi-DC protocol is not based on distributed Erlang, and therefore, is not limited by distributed Erlang (but, is limited by other factors.)

Additionally, there are Riak Core modifications (authored by myself and others) that bypass distributed Erlang using the same semantics, and therefore, don't have the 100+ node cluster restriction.

And finally, the 100+ node cluster restriction is highly-debated, by myself and other academics, because the restrictions are based on use of the global module, where systems that don't use this module will experience higher scalability numbers (based on empirical evidence, not yet published.) For reference, Ericsson, has run 200+ node Erlang clusters.
