If you mark an instance variable as transient, you're telling the JVM to skip (ignore) this variable when you attempt to serialize the object containing it.

One of the main causes of congestion is that traffic is often busy. If hosts could be made to transmit at a uniform rate, congestion would be less common. Another open loop method to help manage congestion is forcing the packet to be transmitted at a more predictable rate. This is called traffic shaping.

A Thread is a block of code that can be executed in parallel with another block of code.

There are 2 documents: 

FRD (functional requirement document) 

SDD (system design document) which can also be called TRS (Technical requirements specifications) 

- %FOUND

Cloud data center doesn’t require experts to operate it, but it requires skilled people to see the maintenance, maintain the workloads and to keep the track of the traffic. The labor cost is 6% of the total cost to operate the cloud data center. Power distribution and cooling of the datacenter cost 20% of the total cost. Computing cost is at the end and is the highest as it is where lots of resources and installation has to be done. It costs the maximum left percentage.

Some of the rules which should be followed while naming a variable in VB are as follows:

There are lots of ways to solve the issue of callback hells:

1. Modularization: break callbacks into independent functions
2. Use a control flow library, like async
3. Use generators with Promises
4. Use async/await (note that it is only available in the latest v7 release and not in the LTS version)
