Worth stressing that there are actually multiple revisions of that  
paper.

J. Saltzer, D. Reed and D. Clark, ‘End-to-End Arguments in System
Design’, Second International Conference on Distributed Computing  
Systems (April 1981) pages 509-512.

Design’, ACM Transactions in Computer Systems, pp. 277-288, November  
1984.

The version at Saltzer's webpages above is a third version, with page  
numbering 1-10, but its footnote
on the first page is helpful at pointing out different versions.
