== Connection-oriented and connectionless communications ==

Very generally, most of communications can be divided into [[Connection-oriented_communication|connection-oriented]], and [[Connectionless_communication|connectionless]]. Whether a communication is a connection-oriented, or connectionless, is defined by the [[Communications_protocol|communication protocol]], and not by {{nowr|[[application programming interface]] (API)}}. Examples of the connection-oriented protocols include {{nowr|[[Transmission Control Protocol]] (TCP)}} and {{nowr|[[Sequenced Packet Exchange]] (SPX)}}, and examples of connectionless protocols include {{nowr|[[User Datagram Protocol]] (UDP)}}, "raw IP", and {{nowr|[[Internetwork Packet Exchange]] (IPX)}}.
