The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing

Fallacies I have seen at James Gosling's blog
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
