/***
 * 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 with
 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#open  open }
 * and call {@link #getTime  getTime } or
 * {@link #getTime  getDate } to retrieve the time. Then call
 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#close  close }
 * to close the connection properly.  Unlike
 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.TimeTCPClient},
 * successive calls to {@link #getTime  getTime } or
 * {@link #getDate  getDate } are permitted
 * without re-establishing a connection.  That is because UDP is a
 * connectionless protocol and the Time protocol is stateless.
