+ Quote of the Day Protocol
+
+
+
+
+This RFC specifies a standard for the ARPA Internet community. Hosts on
+the ARPA Internet that choose to implement a Quote of the Day Protocol
+are expected to adopt and implement this standard.
+
+A useful debugging and measurement tool is a quote of the day service.
+A quote of the day service simply sends a short message without regard
+to the input.
+
+TCP Based Character Generator Service
+
+ One quote of the day service is defined as a connection based
+ application on TCP. A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port
+ 17. Once a connection is established a short message is sent out the
+ connection (and any data received is thrown away). The service
+ closes the connection after sending the quote.
+
+UDP Based Character Generator Service
+
+ Another quote of the day service is defined as a datagram based
+ application on UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port
+ 17. When a datagram is received, an answering datagram is sent
+ containing a quote (the data in the received datagram is ignored).
+
+Quote Syntax
+
+ There is no specific syntax for the quote. It is recommended that it
+ be limited to the ASCII printing characters, space, carriage return,
+ and line feed. The quote may be just one or up to several lines, but
+ it should be less than 512 characters.
