    Connectionless Service :

    - The connectionless service does not require a connection to be established in order to exchange data.

    - It is used to transfer data at the transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model.

    - Connectionless networking is conceptually more reliable, if routers do not hold connection state, then they cannot lose connection state.

    - In connectionless service, packets are dynamically rerouted when there are failures inside the network.

    - In connectionless services for exchanging data there is no need to reserve any resources.

    - Connectionless service cannot provide any service guarantee.

    - In connectionless service, the routing infrastructure can face bottleneck problem due to overloading.
