In a connection-oriented communication,there is a guaranteed delivery of data : any data that is not received by the destination system is re-sent by the sending device. Communication between sending and receiving device continues until the transmission has been verified. Because the connection-oriented protocol has higher overhead, it places greater demand on the bandwidth.

In contrast to connection oriented communication, connection less protocol offers only a best effort delivery mechanism because the information sent there has no conformation that data has been received. If there is error in transmission there is no mechanism to resend the data, so transmission by the connection less is no guarantee that the data is received by the destination. Connection less communication requires far less overhead than connection oriented communication. It is popular in applications such as streaming audio and video where small number packets might represent a significant problem.
