Datagram socket doesn't has a concept of disconnect. It is session
less.

Depends which OS you are using.

Linux:

From man 2 connect...
Connectionless sockets may dissolve the association by connecting to
an address with the sa_family member of sockaddr set to AF_UNSPEC.

Solaris:

From man 3 connect...
Datagram sockets can dissolve the association by connecting to a null
address.

Other flavors may vary.

BUGS
Unconnecting a socket by calling connect() with a AF_UNSPEC
address is not yet implemented.
