Logical entity that generates a response to a SIP request.
- A.
UA
- B.
UAC
- C.
UAS
- D.
B2BUA
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. UASExplanation
A UAS (User Agent Server) is a logical entity that generates a response to a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) request. It is responsible for processing and handling incoming requests, such as call setup or termination, and generating appropriate responses. The other options listed are not correct because a UA (User Agent) is a generic term for any SIP endpoint, a UAC (User Agent Client) is responsible for initiating SIP requests, and a B2BUA (Back-to-Back User Agent) is a type of SIP proxy that acts as an intermediary between two SIP endpoints.Rate this question:

A request will be processed within a servlet in the most specific handling method (doInvite, for instance, instead of doRequest).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
In a servlet, when a request is received, it is processed in the most specific handling method available. This means that if there is a specific method for handling a particular type of request, such as doInvite for invitation requests, it will be used instead of the general doRequest method. Therefore, the statement "A request will be processed within a servlet in the most specific handling method" is true.Rate this question:

The logical entity that creates a new request, and sends it. The role of this entity lasts only for the duration of that transaction.
- A.
UA
- B.
UAC
- C.
UAS
- D.
B2BUA
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. UACExplanation
The correct answer is UAC. UAC stands for User Agent Client, which is a logical entity that creates a new request and sends it. It is responsible for initiating communication and making requests to a server. The role of UAC lasts only for the duration of that transaction, meaning it is involved in the initial request but not in subsequent communications.Rate this question:

Is an "umbrella" object which can store application-specific data and correlate protocol sessions.
- A.
SIP session
- B.
HTTP session
- C.
SIP Application session
- D.
Session Description Protocol
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. SIP Application sessionExplanation
A SIP Application session is an "umbrella" object that can store application-specific data and correlate protocol sessions. This means that it is capable of storing and managing data related to sessions established using the SIP protocol. It allows applications to associate and manage multiple SIP sessions, providing a way to store and retrieve data specific to each session. This is different from a SIP session or an HTTP session, which are specific types of sessions used in different protocols. The Session Description Protocol is not related to the concept of an "umbrella" object for storing application-specific data.Rate this question:
-
- 7.
The SIP factory includes a method to generate new Application Sessions.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because a SIP factory, which stands for Session Initiation Protocol factory, is responsible for creating and managing Application Sessions. These sessions are used for establishing and controlling communication sessions over IP networks. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that the SIP factory would include a method to generate new Application Sessions.Rate this question:

- A.
UA
- B.
UAC
- C.
UAS
- D.
B2BUA
- E.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. B2BUAExplanation
A B2BUA (Back-to-Back User Agent) is a type of server that acts as an intermediary in a communication session between two parties. It receives a request from one user agent, forwards it to the other user agent, and then waits for a response. It also keeps track of the state of the dialog, allowing it to manage and control the session. This makes it the correct answer in this case, as none of the other options mentioned (UA, UAC, UAS) perform all of these functions.Rate this question:

The protocol that carries the voice in an IMS call is:
- A.
SIP
- B.
SDP
- C.
RTP
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
C. RTPExplanation
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is the correct answer because it is the protocol that carries the voice in an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) call. RTP is responsible for the delivery of audio and video data over IP networks, ensuring real-time transmission with minimal delay and loss. It works in conjunction with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and SDP (Session Description Protocol) which are responsible for call setup and negotiation of media capabilities, respectively. However, in terms of carrying the actual voice data, RTP is the protocol used.Rate this question:

A. TrueExplanation
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is indeed used to setup, control, and end a call. It is a communication protocol commonly used in Voice over IP (VoIP) systems to initiate and terminate multimedia sessions. SIP allows users to make and receive calls, establish conference calls, transfer calls, and manage call features such as call forwarding and call waiting. It is responsible for signaling and controlling communication sessions between two or more parties, making the statement "True" accurate.Rate this question:
-
- 12.
SIP is not involved in session management.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
SIP, or Session Initiation Protocol, is actually involved in session management. It is a signaling protocol used for initiating, modifying, and terminating real-time sessions that involve video, voice, messaging, and other communications applications and services. It is responsible for establishing and managing sessions between participants, including negotiating the capabilities, codecs, and parameters of the session. Therefore, the statement that SIP is not involved in session management is false.Rate this question:

A Redirect server is a kind of SIP server.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A Redirect server is indeed a type of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) server. SIP servers are used in Voice over IP (VoIP) communications to facilitate the setup, management, and termination of multimedia sessions such as voice and video calls. A Redirect server is responsible for redirecting SIP requests to the appropriate destination, based on the information it has about the user's location or preferences. It helps in optimizing the routing of SIP traffic and ensuring efficient communication between SIP clients.Rate this question:
-
- 15.
A signaling router is a kind of SIP server.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A signaling router is not a kind of SIP server. A signaling router is a network device that directs signaling messages between different networks or systems, while a SIP server is a type of server that handles the setup, management, and termination of SIP sessions. Therefore, they serve different functions and cannot be considered the same.Rate this question:

- A.
JSR 289
- B.
RFC 3261
- C.
RFC 289
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
A. JSR 289Explanation
The correct answer is JSR 289. JSR 289 is a specification that defines the Java API for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) in order to enable the development of SIP-based applications. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the syntax description of the getApplicationSession method, which is likely related to SIP applications, can be found in JSR 289.Rate this question:

A SIP Servlet Container can handle HTTP requests, and SIP requests.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
A SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Servlet Container is a software component that is capable of handling both HTTP requests and SIP requests. This means that it can process requests made using the traditional HTTP protocol as well as requests made using the SIP protocol, which is commonly used for initiating and managing multimedia communication sessions such as voice and video calls over IP networks. Therefore, the statement that a SIP Servlet Container can handle both HTTP requests and SIP requests is true.Rate this question:
-
- 18.
A SIP method is the same as a SIP servlet.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A SIP method and a SIP servlet are not the same. A SIP method refers to the type of request or response message used in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for communication between SIP entities, such as INVITE, ACK, BYE, etc. On the other hand, a SIP servlet is a Java programming model used to handle SIP requests and responses within a SIP container. While SIP methods are part of the protocol itself, SIP servlets are a way to implement the handling of these methods in a server-side application. Therefore, the statement that a SIP method is the same as a SIP servlet is false.Rate this question:
-
- 19.
Any SIP request can be initial.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The statement "Any SIP request can be initial" is incorrect. In the context of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), an initial request is the first request sent by a user agent to establish a session. However, not all SIP requests can be initial. Only specific types of requests, such as INVITE, can be considered initial requests as they initiate a session. Other types of requests, such as REGISTER or OPTIONS, are not considered initial requests as they serve different purposes within the SIP protocol. Therefore, the correct answer is False.Rate this question:
-

A SIP request does contain a status indicator.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
A SIP request does not contain a status indicator. A SIP request is used to initiate a communication session, such as making a call or sending a message. It includes information about the sender, recipient, and the type of communication being requested. However, the status indicator is part of the SIP response, not the request. The response indicates the status of the request, such as whether it was successful or not.Rate this question:

From the following methods, select the one which is executed when a 200 Ok response is received in a SIP Servlet Container:
- A.
DoRequest
- B.
DoSuccessResponse
- C.
DoResponse
- D.
DoInvite
Correct Answer
B. DoSuccessResponseExplanation
The method "doSuccessResponse" is executed when a 200 Ok response is received in a SIP Servlet Container. This method is responsible for handling the successful response to a SIP request. It is called when the server receives a 200 Ok response from the client, indicating that the request was successful. This method can be used to perform any necessary actions or processing based on the successful response received.Rate this question:

Select the method which is used to end a SIP session.
- A.
ACK
- B.
200 Ok
- C.
END
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
D. None of the aboveExplanation
The correct answer is "None of the above" because the methods listed (ACK, 200 Ok, and END) are not used to end a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) session. The ACK method is used to acknowledge the receipt of a response, the 200 Ok is a response code indicating a successful request, and the END method does not exist in the SIP protocol. To end a SIP session, the BYE method is typically used.Rate this question:

The 302 response belongs to the group:
- A.
Informational responses
- B.
Success responses
- C.
Redirect responses
- D.
Error responses
Correct Answer
C. Redirect responsesExplanation
The 302 response is a redirect response. This means that the server is temporarily redirecting the client to a different URL. The client should make a new request to the new URL provided in the response to complete the intended action. Redirect responses are used when a resource has been moved temporarily to a different location or when a website wants to direct the client to a different page.Rate this question:

One SIP session can contain several SIP Application Sessions.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
This statement is false. In SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), one SIP session can only contain one SIP Application Session. A SIP session represents a communication session between two or more participants, while a SIP Application Session represents the interaction between a user agent and a SIP application server. Therefore, multiple SIP Application Sessions can exist within a single SIP session.Rate this question:
-

The SIP factory allows the creation of new SIP requests.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement is true because the SIP factory is a software component that enables the generation of new SIP requests. SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is a communication protocol used for initiating, modifying, and terminating multimedia sessions over IP networks. The SIP factory provides a convenient way to create these requests, allowing developers to easily implement SIP functionality in their applications.Rate this question:

- B.
Service, control, connectivity
- C.
Connectivity, protocol, transport
- D.
Physical, service, control
Correct Answer
B. Service, control, connectivityExplanation
The correct answer is Service, control, connectivity. In the IMS architecture, the service layer is responsible for providing various services to the end users, such as voice and video communication. The control layer handles the signaling and call control functions, ensuring that the communication sessions are established and managed properly. The connectivity layer deals with the transport of data packets between different network elements, enabling the end-to-end communication. These three layers work together to provide a comprehensive and efficient communication system in the IMS architecture.Rate this question:

The SDP body is mandatory in an initial request.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The SDP body is not mandatory in an initial request. SDP (Session Description Protocol) is used to describe multimedia sessions and is typically included in SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) messages. However, in an initial request, such as an INVITE message, the SDP body is not required. It may be included in subsequent messages during the session establishment process, but it is not mandatory in the initial request.Rate this question:
