QUESTION 3:

Which of the following is an issue for the intermittent connectivity in IoT?

a. Resource utilization
b. Desynchronization
c. Data loss
d. All of these
Correct Answer: d. All of these
Detailed Solution: Due to interference in the network in IoT devices are subjected to
intermittent connectivity. The IoT devices try for active connection at a later instance of
time, demanding more resource utilization. The loss of connectivity hampers the uniform
device synchronization and may result in data loss as well.
See lecture 1 @ 19:46

QUESTION 4:

Which of the following is an IoT application?


a. Smart Drop
b. Smart Sand
c. Smart Dust
d. Smart Grain
Correct Answer: c. Smart Dust
Detailed Solution: Smart Dust refers to nano-sized sensors smaller than a grain of sand
that can be sprayed or injected for several applications.
See lecture 1 @ 26:12

QUESTION 5:

Which of the following connections is justified for IoT Gateway?


a. IoT LAN & IoT WAN
b. IoT WAN & IoT Node
c. IoT LAN & IoT Node
d. 2 IoT Nodes
Correct Answer: a. IoT LAN & IoT WAN
Detailed Solution: IoT Gateway is a router like physical device that connects IoT LAN to

QUESTION 6:

Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) allow routing over a network. This network expands over _____.
a. Multiple links
b. Routing hops
c. Multiple networks
d. All of these
Correct Answer: d. All of these
Detailed Solution: Local networks larger than a single link uses ULA (Unique Local
Address). These addresses allow routing over a network that expands over multiple links
and routing hops and even can expand over multiple networks.
See lecture 2 @ 5:50

QUESTION 7:

In a network within an IoT proxy(with provisions for tunneling), which of the following
addressing is required by IoT LAN?
a. Global Addressing
b. Link-Local
c. Unique Local Addressing
d. All of these
Correct Answer: d. All of these
Detailed Solution: In a network with an IoT proxy, IoT LAN can manage with link-local or
ULA addresses also.
See lecture 2 @ 6:42

QUESTION 8:

The IoT Nodes in a IoT network can have which of the following addresses?
a. Globally Unique Addresses (GUAs)
b. Unique Local Addresses (ULAs)
c. Link-local Address
d. All of these
Correct Answer: d. All of these
Detailed Solution: In a network with an IoT proxy, the IoT nodes in the LAN use a
globally routable address. Also, the IoT nodes, which communicate only within their link,
use link-local addresses, and the IoT gateway also provide ULA addresses to the IoT nodes.

QUESTION 9:

Do link-local addresses require the presence of routers for configuration?

a. Yes
b. No
Correct Answer: b. No
Detailed Solution: The routers on networks transmit ICMPv6 Router Advertisement (RA)
messages that may include IPv6 prefixes, which nodes can use to configure one or more
Unique Local Addresses (ULAs) or Globally Unique Addresses (GUAs).
See lecture 2 @ 7:20

QUESTION 10:

Can an IoT node with link-local addresses communicate over the Internet?

a. Yes
b. No
Correct Answer: b. No
Detailed Solution: An IoT node needs a global IP address to be able to communicate over
the Internet via Gateway and Router.
See lecture 2 @ 8:15
