# `RaftedValue.RemoteMessageGateway`
[🔗](https://github.com/skirino/rafted_value/blob/main/lib/rafted_value/communication.ex#L9)

Default implementation of `:communication_module`.

Essentially `cast/2` behaves as `:gen_statem.cast/2` and `reply/2` behaves as `:gen_statem.reply/2`.

This is introduced in order to work-around slow message passing to unreachable nodes;
if the target node is not connected to `Node.self()`, functions in this node give up delivering message.
In order to recover from temporary network issues, reconnecting to disconnected nodes should be tried elsewhere.
Note that `:raft_fleet` (since 0.5.0) periodically tries to re-establish inter-node connections out of the box.
