Detailed explanation-1: -A connectionless transport layer protocol is a type of open signal like a radio frequency transmission. It is simply sent or broadcast outward, without as much regard for the recipient. Connection-based protocols have an intended destination and a defined point of origin, more like a cabled connection.
Detailed explanation-2: -UDP is a connectionless protocol. It is known as a datagram protocol because it is analogous to sending a letter where you don’t acknowledge receipt.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transport layer: TCP is a connection-oriented transport protocol. UDP is connectionless.
Detailed explanation-4: -Here’s a more physical explanation: IP protocol is connectionless in that all packets in IP network are routed independently, they may not necessarily go through the same route, while in a virtual circuit network which is connection oriented, all packets go through the same route.
