A packet transmitted in a connectionless mode is frequently called a Datagram . In Connection-oriented communication the stations about to exchange data first need to declare towards each other that they want to do so. This is called "establishing a connection". A connection is sometimes defined as a logical relationship between the peers exchanging data. An advantage of connectionless mode over connection-oriented mode is that it allows for Multicast and Broadcast operations, which may save network resources when the same data needs to be transmitted to several recipients. In contrast, a connection is always Unicast (point-to-point). Unfortunately, in connectionless mode transmission of a packet, the service provider usually cannot guarantee that there will be no loss, Error insertion, misdelivery, duplication, or out-of- Sequence delivery of the packet. (However, the risk of these hazards may be reduced by providing a reliable transmission service at a higher Protocol Layer of the OSI Reference Model .) Another drawback of the connectionless mode is that no optimisations are possible when sending several frames between the same two peers. By establishing a connection at the beginning of such a data exchange the components ( Router s, Bridge s) along the network path would be able to pre-compute (and hence Cache ) routing-related information, avoiding re-computation for every packet. Network components could also reserve capacity for the transfer of the subsequent frames of e.g. a video download. The distinction between connectionless and connection-oriented transmission may take place at several layers of the OSI Reference Model :
