- connected nodes are ticked (if anything else is written
- to a node). If nothing is received from another node
- within the last four tick times, that node is considered
- to be down. This ensures that nodes that are not responding,

+ <p>Specifies the <c>net_kernel</c> tick time in seconds. This is the
+ approximate time a connected node may be unresponsive until it is
+ considered down and thereby disconnected.</p>
+ <p>Once every <c>TickTime/4</c> seconds, each connected node is ticked
+ if nothing has been sent to it during that last <c>TickTime/4</c>
+ interval. A tick is a small package sent on the connection. A connected
+ node is considered to be down if no ticks or payload packages have been
+ received during the last four <c>TickTime/4</c> intervals. This ensures
+ that nodes that are not responding, for reasons such as hardware errors,
+ are considered to be down.</p>
+ <p>As the availability is only checked every <c>TickTime/4</c> seconds,

+ detected may vary between <c>MinT</c> and <c>MaxT</c>,

MinT = TickTime - TickTime / 4
