Errata CDK5 book on Distributed Systems 5th edition by Coulouris, Dollimore, Kindberg and Blair

Helmut Neukirchen, 1. September 2015

While the CDK5 homepage lists some errata, I found more that are listed below (I reported them, however they did not make it into the official errata):

Table in Figure 3.23: Lower bound of 3G phone bandwidth is 0.384 Mbps, not 384 Mbps. As an update: 4G currently is up to 300 Mbps and has latencies as low as 5 ms.

The table in Figure 3.23 is at least outdated if not wrong, e.g. 10Base5 is only about the 500 m STP; the "T" standards are about twisted pair cables, hence listing coaxial cable (STP) lengths there makes no sense. 1000BaseT allows nowadays 100m twisted pair cables. The "fibre" lines refer rather ot the "F" standards not "T" as the column headings suggest. Furthermore, mono-mode fibre length for 1000BaseF has made significant advancements. Finally, 10GBase, 40GBase and 100GBase are now available.

Further errata to come...
