C# Sql Connection driver

What driver does a SQL Connection object connect to a SQL Server in order to run queries?

If I have the following code:

SQLConnection cn = new SqlConnection("server=ServerName;initial catalog=CorporateNA;Integrated Security=SSPI")
cn.Open();

Is the SQL Connection object using the ODBC driver SQL Server? I can't help but feel this is a stupid question, but Google searches for the topic are coming up fruitless. We are experiencing intermittent timeout issues on applications running on a server when they connect to the SQL Server and the DBA's are asking what driver it uses to connect. I do not know how to answer them.

If you are using System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection, your driver is the .NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server (commonly known as SqlClient) unless you specified otherwise
