The fallacies of distributed computing are a set of assertions made by L Peter Deutsch and others at Sun Microsystems describing false assumptions that programmers new to distributed applications invariably make.
The fallacies are:
-
The network is reliable.
-
Latency is zero.
-
Bandwidth is infinite.
-
The network is secure.
-
Topology doesn’t change.
-
There is one administrator.
-
Transport cost is zero.
-
The network is homogeneous.
