/***
 * The EchoUDPClient class is a UDP implementation of a client for the
 * Echo protocol described in RFC 862.  To use the class,
 * just open a local UDP port
 * with {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#open  open }
 * and call {@link #send  send } to send datagrams to the server,
 * then call {@link #receive  receive } to receive echoes.
 * After you're done echoing data, call
 * {@link org.apache.commons.net.DatagramSocketClient#close  close() }
 * to clean up properly.
