Frame-relay connectionless ?

Hi All,

  I was going through a book (CCIE Self-study CCIE Security Exam
Certification Guide,april 2003 print) on a section "Example of Peer-to-peer
Communication" and under this it has the below sentence

"Frame Relay is connectionless so,if an error occurs,it's up the to upper
layers to retransmit"

My understanding is, frame-relay is a connection-oriented protocol,is the
above having a typo or I am missing basic or is it trying to convey
something different .Kindly clarify me the same.

Thanks for all the help

Regards
