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