Question

Which of the following is not applicable for IP?

(a) Error reporting

(b) Handle addressing conventions

(c) Datagram format

(d) Packet handling

This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.

My question comes from IPV4 and IPV6 Comparision in section TCP/IP Protocol Suite of Computer Network

Answer 1

Correct answer is (a) Error reporting

For explanation I would say: The Internet Protocol is the networking protocol that establishes the internet by relaying datagram across network boundaries. ICMP is a supporting protocol for IP which handles the Error Reporting functionality.
