The abstract states, "Based on an analysis about the reasons for past failures, we propose three rules for sensible network design process to avoid useless development efforts. First, the analysis of customer needs has to concentrate on practical uses that are likely to become everyday routines. Secondly, the development of a new technology must be based on well–defined, carefully selected core principles. Thirdly, during the development process the real experiences in real networks must be continuously taken into account." Or, as the author concludes: "As to the list of core principles, simplicity and realism are essential." Examples abound; counterexamples, sadly, also.
