maintaining a reliable IoT network. Some settings and best
practices differ from other types of networks.
Use some form of encryption for communications on an IoT
network due to the potential high impact combined with a
wide attack surface. DTLS is a good option.
Several messaging protocols exist for publishsubscribe
messaging used in networks with large numbers of devices
intercommunicating with one another. CoAP is one
commonly used example of one such "message broker"
protocol. DTLS-secured CoAP uses port 5684. Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet
Standard protocol for collecting and organizing information
about managed devices on IP networks and adjusting that
information to change device behavior. Network
administrators frequently use SNMP for network
monitoring. SNMP provides management data in the form
of variables on managed systems, detailing the system
status and configuration, which may subsequently be
queried remotely by managing software. Given the option,
UDP is generally preferable to TCP for loT networks because
loT communications focus on low-latency communications
more so than reliability. UDP header size is light-weight
compared to the TCP header size and is connectionless,
which reduces overhead. The messaging protocol CoAP
works over UDP and is compatible with security protocols
like DTLS.
However, Power Saving Modes are best avoided with UDP
to eld Devices. To ensure messages and heartbeats pass
correctly, redundancy in the form of link aggregation load

C. WPA2 equivalent privacy (WEP) standard.
D. WPA3 In WPA2, pre-shared key (PSK) authentication uses a
passphrase to generate the key that is used to encrypt
communications. It is also referred to as group authentication
because a group of users share the same secret.

C. Network another using hardware addresses.
D. Transport The network layer (layer 3) is responsible for moving data
(routing) around a network of networks, known as an
internetwork or the Internet.
The transport layer is known as the end-to-end or host-to-
host layer. A function of the transport layer is to identify
each type of network application by assigning it a port
number.
