Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computing, the
robustness principle is a general design guideline for software: Be
conservative in what you send; be liberal in what you accept. The
principle is also known as Postel's Law, after Internet pioneer Jon
Postel, who wrote in an early specification of the Transmission Control
Protocol that: TCP implementations should follow a general principle of
robustness: be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you
accept from others. In other words, code that sends commands or data to
other machines (or to other programs on the same machine) should conform
completely to the specifications, but code that receives input should
accept non-conformant input as long as the meaning is clear.
