Question

IoT Proxy operates in:

 a. Application layer

 b. Network layer

 c. MAC layer

 d. Physical layer

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A.

IoT proxy operates in application layer.

IoT stands for Internet of Things.

The application code running on the device stores the source of the proxy data.

Application layer is a layer which determines the interface methods and communication protocols which would be used by the host computers for sharing information within a network.

Answer 2

The OSI architecture consists of 7 layers and each layer is responsible for a certain functionality.

The topmost layer is the application layer where the applications run.

They are used to determine the protocols and methods that would be used by the host system.

They are also used in message exchange protocols.

The proxy data or proxy servers are stored in the application layer.

IoT stands for Internet of Things and its proxy operates in the application layer.

Hence, (a) Application layer is the answer.
