Fallacies of Distributed Computing - Effects of The Fallacies

Effects of The Fallacies

  1. Ignorance of network latency, and of the packet loss it can cause, induces application- and transport-layer developers to allow unbounded traffic, greatly increasing dropped packets and wasting bandwidth.
  2. Complacency regarding network security results in being blindsided by malicious users and programs that continually adapt to security measures.
  3. Multiple administrators, as with subnets for rival companies, may institute conflicting policies of which senders of network traffic must be aware in order to complete their desired paths.
  4. The "hidden" costs of building and maintaining a network or subnet are non-negligible and must consequently be noted in budgets to avoid vast shortfalls.
  5. Ignorance of bandwidth limits on the part of traffic senders can result in bottlenecks over frequency-multiplexed media.

Famous quotes containing the words effects of the, effects of and/or effects:

    “Each of us, even the lowliest and most insignificant among us, was uprooted from his innermost existence by the almost constant volcanic upheavals visited upon our European soil and, as one of countless human beings, I can’t claim any special place for myself except that, as an Austrian, a Jew, writer, humanist and pacifist, I have always been precisely in those places where the effects of the thrusts were most violent.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    “The hippie is the scion of surplus value. The dropout can only claim sanctity in a society which offers something to be dropped out of—career, ambition, conspicuous consumption. The effects of hippie sanctimony can only be felt in the context of others who plunder his lifestyle for what they find good or profitable, a process known as rip-off by the hippie, who will not see how savagely he has pillaged intricate and demanding civilizations for his own parodic lifestyle.”
    —Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    “The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
