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