Connectionless Protocols: These protocols do not establish a connection between devices. As soon as a device has data to send to another, it just sends it. Answer:

A Connectionless Protocol is a data communication method in which communication occurs between hosts with no previous setup. The device at one end of the communication transmits data to the other, without first ensuring that the recipient is available and ready to receive the data. The device sending a message simply sends it addressed to the intended recipient. The internet Protocol (IP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are connectionless protocols, but TCP/IP (the most common use of IP) is connection-oriented

All protocols in the "internet layer" are inherently connectionless. And really, in the Internet model, the only "internet layer" protocol is IP. On the "transport layer" the two most common protocols are TCP and UDP. TCP is connection-based, and UDP is connectionless. There are several other protocols such as RTP, that have specific purposes like handling media. These are generally connectionless because they are tolerant to small levels of data loss.

The connectionless protocol at the transport layer is UDP (User Datagram Protocol). It is an unreliable (but fast) protocol that does not contain error detection or correction, and is not a reliable delivery mechanism.

A connectionless protocol sends information to a designated IP address and does not wait for a response confirming delivery of the packet. The currently most popular suite that uses this is known as UDP. This is in contrast to TCP, where each packet is part of a "session" or "connection." TCP has higher reliability, but uses more bandwidth than UDP. Connectionless protocols run faster, but there is a greater chance for lost data.
