- xg15 1y agohttps://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc864.html https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc864.html > UDP Based Character Generator Service > When a datagram is received, an answering datagram is sent containing a random number (between 0 and 512) of characters (the data in the received datagram is ignored). > The service only send one datagram in response to each received datagram, so there is no concern about the service sending data faster than the user can process it.
