27 * The DaytimeUDPClient class is a UDP implementation of a client for the
28 * Daytime protocol described in RFC 867. To use the class, merely
29 * open a local datagram socket with
30 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#open open }
31 * and call {@link #getTime getTime } to retrieve the daytime
32 * string, then
33 * call {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#close close }
34 * to close the connection properly. Unlike
35 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.daytime.DaytimeTCPClient},
36 * successive calls to {@link #getTime getTime } are permitted
37 * without re-establishing a connection. That is because UDP is a
38 * connectionless protocol and the Daytime protocol is stateless.
