Hi,
That is not completely right. In addition to "transfer path" (2-|3-way)
there might be such a thing like the
"queue to resource master". I mean, that if many/all instances have a
need in one and the same block,
they first go to resource master. And while the master is surving the
first request, the others are in the queue.
The more nodes, the longer the queue is, and a queuing theory comes into
play here.
Of course, in this case of s... happens the application should be quite unscalable...
