+ <c>erl_interface</c>/<c>ei</c> refused to use node names
+ with an alive name (the part of the node name preceding
+ the @ sign) longer than 63 characters and a host name
+ longer than 64 characters. The total amount of characters
+ allowed in a node name (alivename@hostname) was thus
+ limited to 128 characters. These limits applied both to
+ the own node name as well as node names of other nodes.
+ Ordinary Erlang nodes limit the node name length to 256
+ characters, which meant that you could not communicate
+ with certain Erlang nodes due to their node name used.</p>
+ <p>
+ <c>erl_interface</c>/<c>ei</c> now allow the total amount
+ of characters in a node name to be up to 256 characters.
+ These characters may be distributed between alive name
+ and host name in whatever way needed. That is, the
+ maximum amount of characters in the alive name may be 254
+ and the maximum amount of characters in the host name may
+ be 254, but in total the node name must not exceed 256
+ characters.</p>
