026/**
027 * The DaytimeUDPClient class is a UDP implementation of a client for the Daytime protocol described in RFC 867. To use the class, merely open a local datagram
028 * socket with {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#open open } and call {@link #getTime getTime } to retrieve the daytime string, then call
029 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#close close } to close the connection properly. Unlike
030 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.daytime.DaytimeTCPClient}, successive calls to {@link #getTime getTime } are permitted without re-establishing a connection.
031 * That is because UDP is a connectionless protocol and the Daytime protocol is stateless.
