 | | CLNS does not perform connection setup or termination because paths are determined independently for each packet that is transmitted through a network. |
 | | In addition, CLNS provides best-effort delivery, which means that no guarantee exists that data will not be lost, corrupted, misordered, or duplicated. |
 | | CLNS relies on transport-layer protocols to perform error detection and correction. |
