In a virtual circuit network, there is an end-to-end connection in the sense that each router along the path must maintain state for the connection; hence the terminology connection service.

In a connection-oriented transport service over a connectionless network layer, such as TCP over IP, the end systems maintain connection state, but the routers have no notion of any connections; hence the terminology connection-oriented service.

What is Connectionless and Connection Oriented?

Connection-Oriented means that when devices communicate, they perform handshaking to set up an end-to-end connection. Connection-Oriented systems can only work in bi-directional communications environments. Connection-less means that no effort is made to set up a dedicated end-to-end connection. Walkie-talkies, or Citizens Band radios are a good examples of connection-less communication.


What is the difference between connection oriented and conectionless networks?

In connection oriented network first is confirmation of establishment of connection then only communication can take place while in connection less without establishment confirmation the communication start up.


Why connection oriented is more reliable than connection less protocol?

Connection oriented is more reliable because there is an acknowledgment received from data receiver (destination) that the data is receiving and transfer is successful which is not received from connection less protocol.


Difference between connectionless and connection oriented communication?

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). page/926 A+
