The end-to-end design “principle” pervades the design of virtually every modern distributed system. In its extreme form, critical functionality is implemented solely in end hosts, with a dumb but fast network to connect them. Unfortunately, such a network-oblivious approach is fundamentally inefficient, as it provides one-size-fits-all functionality to a multifarious set of applications and platforms.

端到端设计“原则”几乎渗透到每个现代分布式系统的设计中。在其极端形式中，关键功能仅在终端主机中实现，并使用哑但快速的网络连接它们。不幸的是，这种与网络无关的方法从根本上是低效的，因为它为各种各样的应用程序和平台提供了一刀切的功能。
