Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer

(i) Error reporting

Explanation

IP is responsible for logical addressing, datagram format, and packet forwarding/handling across interconnected networks. However, error reporting is provided by ICMP, which operates alongside IP rather than being a core function of IP itself.

Therefore, among the given options, error reporting is the one not directly applicable as an IP function.

Final answer: (i) Error reporting.
