1. Which of the following controls the publish-subscribe messaging pattern in MQTT.

a. MQTT broker
b. MQTT client
c. MQTT server
d. None of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 6, please refer to MQTT
introduction slides.

2. AMQP is designed for connecting:

a. Constrained networks
b. LANs and WANs
c. Systems and Business processes
d. None of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 8, see AMQP introduction
slides.

3. The MQTT publish-subscribe protocol is:

a. Event driven
b. Broker driven
c. Client driven
d. All of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 6, please refer to MQTT
introduction slides.

4. REST stands for:

a. Representational State Transfer
b. Resourceful Sensor Transfer
c. Resourceful State Transport
d. None of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 7, please refer to CoAP
introduction slides.

5. Which of these is TRUE for XMPP?

a. It is decentralized
b. It supports interoperability
c. It does not guarantee QoS
d. All of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 7, see XMPP introduction
slides.
6. Which of these is a routing protocol for low-power lossy networks over IPv6?
a. RPL
b. OSPF
c. Both a and b
d. None of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 10, RPL considers routing for
low-power lossy networks. OSPF does not bother about the energy or loss in a path, and
works with IPv4 too.

7. In AMQP, link initiation in order to send and receive messages is done by which frame
type?
a. OPEN
b. ATTACH
c. BEGIN
d. FLOW
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 8, see AMQP frame types.

8. RPL supports:
a. Message confidentiality
b. Loop detection in the routes
c. Data path validation
d. All of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 10, see slides on RPL routing.

9. Which statement is TRUE with respect to the IEEE 802.15.4 standard?

a. It is a low data-rate standard.
b. Used for architecting wireless PANs
c. Uses only two layers – PHY and MAC
d. All of these
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 9, go through slides for IEEE
802.15.4. All three options a,b,c hold true.

10. In the network layer, Zigbee follows which routing scheme?

a. AODV
b. DSDV
c. RIPv2
d. OSPF
Justification: As mentioned in the lecture slides for Lecture 9, see slides for Zigbee
network layer.
