Connectionless
Connectionless: A type of network communication where data packets are sent from one device to another without establishing a dedicated connection, allowing for quick data transmission. However, packets may arrive out of order or get lost, as there is no assurance of delivery, making it less reliable than connection-oriented services.
Connection-oriented
Connection-oriented: A network communication type that establishes a dedicated connection path before data is transmitted. This ensures reliable and ordered delivery of packets from sender to receiver. Protocols like TCP use a connection-oriented approach to guarantee that data is received accurately and completely.
