+ Daytime Protocol
+
+
+
+
+This RFC specifies a standard for the ARPA Internet community. Hosts on
+the ARPA Internet that choose to implement a Daytime Protocol are
+expected to adopt and implement this standard.
+
+A useful debugging and measurement tool is a daytime service. A daytime
+service simply sends a the current date and time as a character string
+without regard to the input.
+
+TCP Based Daytime Service
+
+ One daytime service is defined as a connection based application on
+ TCP. A server listens for TCP connections on TCP port 13. Once a
+ connection is established the current date and time is sent out the
+ connection as a ascii character string (and any data received is
+ thrown away). The service closes the connection after sending the
+ quote.
+
+UDP Based Daytime Service
+
+ Another daytime service service is defined as a datagram based
+ application on UDP. A server listens for UDP datagrams on UDP port
+ 13. When a datagram is received, an answering datagram is sent
+ containing the current date and time as a ASCII character string (the
+ data in the received datagram is ignored).
+
+Daytime Syntax
+
+ There is no specific syntax for the daytime. It is recommended that
+ it be limited to the ASCII printing characters, space, carriage
+ return, and line feed. The daytime should be just one line.
+
+ One popular syntax is:
+
+ Weekday, Month Day, Year Time-Zone
+
+ Example:
+
+ Tuesday, February 22, 1982 17:37:43-PST

+RFC 867 May 1983
+Daytime Protocol
+
+
+ Another popular syntax is that used in SMTP:
+
+ dd mmm yy hh:mm:ss zzz
+
+ Example:
+
+ 02 FEB 82 07:59:01 PST
+
+NOTE: For machine useful time use the Time Protocol (RFC-868).
