+ Defines a list of extra spawn options for net ticker processes. There exist
+ one such process for each connection to another node. A net ticker process is
+ responsible for supervising the connection it is associated with. These
+ processes also execute the distribution handshake protocol when setting up
+ connections. When there is a large number of distribution connections,
+ setting up garbage collection options can be helpful to reduce memory usage.
+ Default is <c>[link, {priority, max}]</c>, and these two options cannot be
+ changed. The <c>monitor</c> and <c>{monitor, MonitorOpts}</c> options are
+ not allowed and will be dropped if present. See the documentation of the
+ <seemfa marker="erts:erlang#spawn_opt/4"><c>erlang:spawn_opt/4</c></seemfa>
+ BIF for information about valid options. If the <c>Opts</c> list is not
+ a proper list, or containing invalid options the setup of connections
+ will fail.
+ 
+ 
+ Note that the behavior described above is only true if the distribution
+ carrier protocol used is implemented as described in
+ 	 <seeguide marker="erts:alt_dist#distribution_module">ERTS
+	 User's Guide ➜ How to implement an Alternative Carrier
+	 for the Erlang Distribution ➜ Distribution Module</seeguide> without
+ further alterations. The implementer of the distribution carrier protocol
+ used, may have chosen to ignore the <c>net_ticker_spawn_options</c> parameter
+ or altered its behavior. Currently all distribution modules shipped with OTP
+ do, however, behave as described above.
