This works only locally. Consider a distributed data acquisition and
control system. You measure some data at physically distinct places. The
sensors and actors are interconnected using say Ethernet. Ada is the best
candidate for implementing nodes of the system, right? Now, how would you
ensure data consistency across the system? A practical example, is a
mileage dynamometer. A test runs for weeks. Maximal data frequency is say 1
kHz.
