No, it's not about complexity, but nor is it about robustness.
It's about
"functionality" and where to place it. A simple word search
should help
highlight this point.
I'm not there this time but ... where you place functionality has a
direct impact on complexity and robustness.
Scott is right. Where to place functionality has an impact on
complexity, in addition to robustness.
BTW for everyone's convenience, here are the pointers to the two
Clark papers mentioned:
"End-to-End arguments in System Design"
ACM Transactions in Computer Systems 2, 4, November, 1984
http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoend.pdf
"The Design Philosophy of the DARPA Internet Protocols"
http://nms.csail.mit.edu/6829-papers/darpa-internet.pdf
SIGCOMM '88
Could it be that whoever
it was was making an inference?
