Slogans for computer networking design...

The following are a few good slogans that i picked up from my instructors (William Cheng) lecture notes for Computer Communications Course at USC.

  2. The simplest explanation is the best - Occam’s razor
  3. Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send - Jon Postel
  4. In allocating resources, strive to avoid a disaster rather than to achieve an optimum - Butler Lampson
