Stateless Protocol

About

A stateless protocol is a communication protocol in which the receiver must not retain session state from previous requests1. The server does not keep any session data between two requests, although the later addition of cookies adds state to some client-server interactions2.

Example

HTTP is an example of a stateless protocol.
