/**
 * This interface defines a datagram connection which knows
 * it's local end point address.
 * The protocol is transaction oriented, and delivery and duplicate
 * protection are not guaranteed.  Applications requiring ordered
 * reliable delivery of streams of data should use
 * the <code>SocketConnection</code>.
 * <p>
 * A <code>UDPDatagramConnection</code> is returned from
 * <code>Connector.open()</code> in response to a request to
 * open a <code>datagram://</code> URL connection string.
 * If the connection string omits both the <code>host</code>
 * and <code>port</code> fields in the URL string, then the
 * system will allocate an available port. The local
 * address and the local port can be discovered using
 * the accessor methods within this interface.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The syntax described here for the datagram URL connection string
 * is also valid for the <code>Datagram.setAddress()</code> method
 * used to assign a destination address to a <code>Datagram</code>
 * to be sent. e.g., <code>datagram://</code><em>host:port</em>
 * </p>

 * BNF Format for Connector.open() string

 * <P>
 * The URI must conform to the BNF syntax specified below.  If the URI
 * does not conform to this syntax, an <code>IllegalArgumentException</code>
 * is thrown.
