 +===== Principle Statement =====
 +
 +> 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((Peter Deutsch: //[[https://blogs.oracle.com/jag/resource/Fallacies.html|The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing]]//))
 +
 +So a design is bad if one these aspects is neglected.
