Fallacies of Distributed Computing
The fallacies of distributed computing ( English for mistakes of the distributed computing ) a collection are actually trivial, but often erroneous assumptions that programmers assume if they have a particular first time distributed application development. The (today) eight fallacies are:
- The network is fail-safe
- The latency is zero
- The data throughput is unlimited
- The network is safe
- The network topology will not change
- There is only one network administrator at a time
- The costs of data transport can be set at zero
- The network is homogeneous

The list of Fallacies of Distributed Computing originally comes from Sun Microsystems and was opened there by Bill Joy and Tom Lyon with four fallacies. They became widely known in 1994 through L Peter Deutsch , who expanded them to seven fallacies as "The Seven Fallacies of Distributed Computing". James Gosling , also from Sun, added the eighth point around 1997.
