scalability

How well a solution to some problem will work when the size ofthe problem increases.

For example, a central server of some kind with tenclients may perform adequately but with a thousand clientsit might fail to meet response time requirements. In thiscase, the average response time probably scales linearly withthe number of clients, we say it has a complexity of O(N)("order N") but there are problems with other complexities.E.g. if we want N nodes in a network to be able to communicatewith each other, we could connect each one to a centralexchange, requiring O(N) wires or we could provide a directconnection between each pair, requiring O(N^2) wires (theexact number or formula is not usually so important as thehighest power of N involved).
