reliable end-to-end delivery

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Internet Protocol (IP) is a network layer protocol that does not require initial exchange of control information to establish an end-to-end connection before packets are forwarded. Thus, IP is connectionless and does not provide reliable end-to-end delivery by itself. IP is media independent.
Detailed explanation-2: -IP is considered to be connectionless because it does not establish a session with a remote computer before sending data. Data sent via connectionless methods are called datagrams. An IP packet can be lost, delayed, duplicated, or delivered out of sequence and there is no attempt to recover from these errors.
