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