'''Datagram sockets''' on the other hand are called connectionless. You may have heard '''UDP''' or the User Datagram Protocol. The reason they are called connectionless is because they do not have to maintain an open connection as you do with stream sockets. As a consequence, data may arrive just fine, it may arrive out of order, or it might even get lost and never arrive. | '''Datagram sockets''' on the other hand are called connectionless.
