The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing | |
Essentially everyone, when they first build a distributed application, makes the following eight assumptions. All prove to be false in the long run and all cause big trouble and painful learning experiences. | |
1. The network is reliable | |
2. Latency is zero | |
3. Bandwidth is infinite | |
4. The network is secure | |
5. Topology doesn’t change | |
6. There is one administrator | |
7. Transport cost is zero | |
8. The network is homogeneous | |
