DHCP is a connectionless protocols. In general, any protocol that is based on TCP port alone is a connection-oriented protocol while any protocol that is based on UDP port alone is a connectionless protocol. And a protocols that can work on both TCP and UDP port can be either a connection-oriented or a connectionless protocol depending upon the which protocol is used (TCP or UDP). For checking other protocols if they are connection-oriented or connectionless check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
UDP!
Different from a connectionless protocol, a connection-oriented protocol guaranties the delivery of the information. An example of connection-oriented protocol is (TCP) and a connectionless protocol is (UDP). TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, it makes a connection and checks whether the data is received, and resends if it is not. UDP is a connectionless protocol, it does not guarantee delivery by first connecting and checking whether data is received.
In internet protocol suite UDP is the connectionless protocol. There is no initial communication between client and server. UDP will not check whether the transmission was successful.
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

First let me explain the difference between connection oriented and connectioinless oriented. We'll use you as an example, Lets say you want to send an email to your friend in Australia. You need a system called a protocol to set up your system before you send the message. First a connection has to be made with your buddies Internet supplier, then once the connection is made you can send your email, then you want to make sure he got your email and then you want to end the session so someone else can use the system. On a connection protocol, the protocol first establishes a connection, then waits for a signal from the receiver to make sure the system is clear, then the data is sent, then it waits for a signal to say the data was received, then the session is closed. On a connectionless protocol, the session is established, the data is sent, and then the session is closed. So there is no confirmation if the data was received. That is what connectionless means, Netware uses a Transport protocol called IPX which is a connectionless protocol. So that is where the name came from.

TFTP doesn't really overcome the connectionless transport - it doesn't have to because the idea here is transferring files with speed, not quality. It doesn't matter to the protocol is the information doesn't arrive, or arrive correctly, etc.
**The TCP transport layer protocol uses windowing and acknowledgments for reliable transfer of data. **The TCP and UDP port numbers are used by application layer protocols. **The TCP transport layer protocol provides services to direct the data packets to their destination hosts.
