A client-server system using a LAN has advantages over a timesharing system. It allows incremental growth and avoids single points of failure. For a satellite network, the best case delay for a request and response would be about 533 milliseconds due to propagation delays over the 160,000 km round trip distance. Estimating that the Internet doubles in size every 18 months, the number of hosts could reach around 6.4 billion by 2010, though this may be an overestimate.
