Which two functions are provided by the NCP during a PPP connection?

During a PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection, the NCP (Network Control Protocol) provides two main functions: it establishes and configures the network layer protocols used over the link, and it manages the negotiation of options for these protocols. NCP allows different network layer protocols to operate simultaneously over the same link by encapsulating their packets. Additionally, it facilitates the dynamic assignment of IP addresses and other necessary parameters for the network layer.
