Assignment 8
1. The major challenge(s) in Software Defined IoT is(are):
a. Mobility of devices
b. Heterogeneity of devices
c. Resource-constraint
d. All of the above

Justification: see lec-36, slide 9

2. From the below given options, which is not a characteristic of cloud computing?
a. Low management effort
b. Low level generalization of computation
c. On-demand network access
d. Configurable computing resources
Justification: see lec-37, slide 4. Low level of generalization is not present. It is high level
generalization.

3. Pre-configure facility for allocation of virtualized resources comes under

a. Availability and reliability
b. Scalability and elasticity
c. Manageability and interoperability
d. Measured Services
Justification: see lec-38, slide 8.

4. If the devices are highly mobile in IoT, one of the disadvantage of using SDN can be:
a. High control overhead
b. Low data rate
c. All of the above
d. None of the above
Justification: In the case of highly mobile IoT devices, if the network quality is poor, the data rate
will suffer leading to low data rates. However, the data rates may be high in cases of good coverage.
Hence, option b is not always true. In contrast, with highly mobile IoT devices, the high control
overhead of SDN will always be present.

5. Broad network access in cloud deals with

a. Dynamic allocation for scale out
 b. Recorded resource usage
c. Availability of cloud resources over the network
d. All of the above
Justification: see lec-37, slide 8

6. Mice flows have:

a. Large duration
b. Short duration
c. Moderately large duration
d. None of the above

Justification: According to standard definitions long-lived flows are known as elephant flows,
whereas flows are mice flows​.

7. What is the full form of HDFS?

a. Hadoop distributed file system
b. Hadoop database file system
c. Half-duplex file system
d. Hadoop decentralized file system

Justification: according to the global definition of HDFS

8. Which of the following is not a part of Hadoop?

a. HDFS
b. YARN
c. Both the above
d. None of the above

Justification: all three options a,b are part of Hadoop. Hence, c is also not true.

9. GreenCloud Simulator is designed based on

a. NS-3
b. NS-2
c. CloudSim
d. DCSim

Justification: See lecture 40, slide 15

10. The disadvantage(s) of private cloud is/are:

a. Total control over the system and data
b. Regular maintenance
c. Minimum security concerns
d. All of the above

Justification: see lec-37, slide 20
