Hi.
'Routing & forwarding are functions of this layer, as well as adressing, internet working, ...'

Means functions coming before 'as well as' are the main functions?

thanks

soheil1 functions coming before 'as well as' are the main functions? That would be my interpretation on first reading. The writer may have had something else in mind, though, so I would read further to see how the various functions relate to one another.

"the functions of" makes it sound like that's the complete list, which is a little strange if you're going to add more functions after "as well as".

Just "functions of" makes it sound like it's "some functions of", which is what the writer intended.
