Difference between connectionless and connection oriented session?

| Hi all,
Could someone either briefly explain and/or point me towards an explanation
of connectionless VS connection?
Am I correct in saying that connection = an established session,
connectionless = broadcast?
Any clarification would be helpful.
Thanks,
Ben

| Connection-oriented communication uses acknowledgments, is reliable but has
higher overhead. A connectionless service does not establish a connection
(path) before transmission, is fast but less reliable.

| In addition to SilverSurfer (who is right on)....
no, a connectionless protocol is NOT a broadcast
The sender still sends to a specific IP but doesn't care if the receiver
ever gets it
