28   * The TimeUDPClient class is a UDP implementation of a client for the Time protocol described in RFC 868. To use the class, merely open a local datagram socket
29   * with {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#open open } and call {@link #getTime getTime } or {@link #getTime getDate } to retrieve the time.
30   * Then call {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#close close } to close the connection properly. Unlike
31   * {@link org.apache.commons.net.time.TimeTCPClient}, successive calls to {@link #getTime getTime } or {@link #getDate getDate } are permitted without
32   * re-establishing a connection. That is because UDP is a connectionless protocol and the Time protocol is stateless.
