        **What is Connectionless communication?**

        A connectionless protocol like UDP sends data packets without establishing a dedicated end-to-end connection, meaning each packet is treated independently.

        **Why is Connectionless communication useful?**

        Connectionless communication is useful for applications where speed and low latency matter more than guaranteed delivery, such as video streaming, gaming, and voice calls.

        **How does Connectionless communication work?**

        UDP sends datagrams individually without handshakes or acknowledgments. There is no guarantee that packets will arrive or arrive in order.

        **Which OSI layer does Connectionless communication belong to?**

        Connectionless protocols like UDP operate at the **Transport Layer (Layer 4)** of the OSI model.

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

        The primary transport protocol used for connectionless communication is **UDP (User Datagram Protocol)**.

        **Is Connectionless communication using client-server model?**

        Yes, connectionless communication is often used in client-server models where speed is prioritized over reliability, such as DNS servers responding to client queries.
