 =item * Node references contain the recipe on how to contact them.
 Erlang relies on special naming and DNS to work everywhere in the
 same way. AEMP relies on each node knowing it's own address(es), with
 convenience functionality.
+This means that AEMP requires a less tightly controlled environment at the
+cost of longer node references and a slightly higher management overhead.
 =item * Erlang uses processes and a mailbox, AEMP does not queue.
 Erlang uses processes that selctively receive messages, and therefore
 needs a queue. AEMP is event based, queuing messages would serve no useful
 purpose.
