Connectionless mode transmission
In a packet-switched network, connectionless mode transmission is a transmission in which each packet is prepended with a header containing a destination address sufficient to permit the independent delivery of the packet without the aid of additional instructions.

A packet transmitted in a connectionless mode is frequently called a datagram.

In connection-oriented communication the stations about to exchange data first need to declare towards each other that they want to do so. This is called "establishing a connection". A connection is sometimes defined as a logical relationship between the peers exchanging data.
