Question 10. When evaluating network readiness for SIP, which metric most directly affects voice clarity? A) Bandwidth capacity B) Packet loss percentage C) Number of concurrent users D) CPU clock speed Answer: B Explanation: Packet loss degrades audio packets, causing gaps and distortion; latency and jitter affect timing but not the actual clarity as directly as loss does. Question 11. Which security function of an SBC protects against Denial‑of‑Service attacks targeting SIP trunks? A) Media transcoding B) DDoS mitigation C) Call admission control D) QoS policing
Answer: B Explanation: SBCs can detect and block high‑volume malicious traffic, preventing DDoS attacks from overwhelming the SIP infrastructure. Question 12. Which SIP URI format correctly identifies a user on a remote domain? A) sip:[email protected] B) sip:[email protected] C) sip:[email protected] D) sip:[email protected] Answer: D Explanation: The SIP URI follows the pattern sip:user@domain, where the domain part specifies the SIP server domain. Question 13. What does the SIP method OPTIONS primarily test? A) Network latency B) Server capabilities C) Call routing paths D) Authentication credentials Answer: B Explanation: OPTIONS requests query the capabilities of a SIP endpoint, such as supported methods and codecs. Question 14. Which of the following is a provisional (1xx) SIP response code? A) 180 Ringing B) 200 OK C) 301 Moved Permanently
Question 17. Which component is essential for providing geographic redundancy in a SIP trunking deployment? A) Single‑site media gateway B) Multi‑site SBC cluster C) Single‑site router D) VPN concentrator Answer: B Explanation: Deploying multiple SBCs in different data centers ensures calls can be rerouted if one site fails, delivering geographic redundancy. Question 18. What does the term “on‑demand capacity” refer to in SIP cloud services? A) Fixed number of concurrent sessions B) Ability to provision new trunks instantly as traffic grows C) Pre‑allocated hardware slots D) Static licensing model Answer: B Explanation: On‑demand capacity means the provider can dynamically allocate additional SIP trunks when the customer’s usage spikes. Question 19. Which SIP method is used to terminate an established call? A) INVITE B) BYE C) CANCEL D) REGISTER Answer: B Explanation: BYE ends an active dialog, signaling both parties to release the session.
Question 20. In a SIP‑based contact center, which term describes the ability to route a call to an agent based on the caller’s language preference? A) Language Preference Routing (LPR) B) Multilingual IVR C) Voice‑to‑Text (VTT) D) Call‑Back Queue Answer: A Explanation: LPR uses the caller’s language selection (often passed via SIP header “Accept‑Language”) to route the call to the appropriate language‑specific queue. Question 21. Which security protocol encrypts both signaling and media streams in SIP? A) TLS for signaling only B) SRTP for media only C) TLS + SRTP combined D) IPsec tunneling Answer: C Explanation: TLS protects SIP messages; SRTP encrypts RTP media. Using both together secures the entire communication. Question 22. Which of the following is a typical SLA uptime commitment for a Tier‑1 SIP provider? A) 99.9% B) 99.99% C) 99.999% D) 99.9999%
D) Opus (64 kbps) Answer: C Explanation: G.729 compresses audio to 8 kbps, making it ideal for limited bandwidth scenarios. Question 26. In a SIP‑based sales conversation, which question best uncovers hidden maintenance costs? A) “How many phones are you currently replacing?” B) “What is your current annual maintenance budget?” C) “What are your existing... D) “Do you have any... Answer: B Explanation: Asking directly about the maintenance budget surfaces the hidden OPEX that the client may be paying. Question 27. Which deployment model allows a customer to keep existing analog phones while moving to SIP? A) Full replacement only B) Hybrid (cloud + on‑prem) C) Parallel migration D) Total replacement Answer: B
Explanation: A hybrid model retains analog endpoints and connects them via a media gateway to the SIP cloud. Question 28. Which KPI is most commonly used to justify the ROI of a SIP migration project? A) Net Present Value (NPV) B) Internal Rate of Return (IRR) C) Payback Period D) Cost‑Benefit Ratio Answer: C Explanation: The Payback Period indicates how quickly the investment is recovered, a frequent metric in sales proposals. Question 29. Which SIP response code indicates that the user is not authorized to use the requested resource? A) 401 Unauthorized B) 403 Forbidden Answer: B Explanation: 403 Forbidden tells the caller that the request is understood but the user lacks permission. Question 30. In a cloud‑based SIP trunk, which transport protocol is most commonly used to carry RTP packets over the public internet? A) UDP
Answer: C Explanation: Business continuity is the core reason organizations move to SIP. Question 33. Which SIP method is used to cancel a pending INVITE before the callee answers?
