Comment on Falsehoods Programmers Believe About LANsparent

Comments

Both A and !A can be fallacies if sometimes A.

The biggest fallacy here, though, and not stated, is that "LAN" is a meaningful concept.

The loosest definition might be "isolated network or leaf node of the internet" if one considers a non-natted DMZ to be a lan.

If one thinks all the assumptions in the article are bogus, then I agree there's no definition of the term.

99% of the time, being natted and/or having private address space is the definition.
