        **What is IPv6 Connectionless Protocol?**

        IPv6 is a connectionless protocol, meaning it sends packets independently without establishing a dedicated end-to-end connection beforehand.

        **Why is IPv6 Connectionless Protocol useful?**

        It allows flexible and efficient transmission of data, especially suitable for applications where speed and simplicity are more important than guaranteed delivery.

        **How does IPv6 Connectionless Protocol work?**

        Each packet, called a datagram, is routed independently based on its destination address, without any prior setup or state maintained by routers.

        **Where is IPv6 Connectionless Protocol used?**

        It is used widely in internet communications, including DNS queries, streaming media, VoIP, and other real-time applications where connection setup delay is undesirable.

        **Which OSI layer does IPv6 Connectionless Protocol belong to?**

        IPv6 connectionless behavior is a characteristic of the **Network Layer (Layer 3)**, managing packet forwarding without session state.

        **Is IPv6 Connectionless Protocol Windows specific?**

        No, this is a fundamental trait of IPv6 implemented across all operating systems supporting IPv6.

        **Is IPv6 Connectionless Protocol Linux specific?**

        No, Linux supports IPv6 connectionless protocol as part of its standard network stack along with other OSes.

        **Which Transport Protocol is used by IPv6 Connectionless Protocol?**

        IPv6 itself is not a transport protocol; it supports transport protocols like **UDP**, **TCP**, and **ICMPv6**, which operate over the connectionless IP layer.

        **Is IPv6 Connectionless Protocol using client-server model?**

        IPv6 connectionless protocol supports any communication model — client-server, peer-to-peer, or multicast — as it focuses solely on packet delivery without connection state.
