  UnixTime and UnixTime Protocol
  Unix is an operating system developed in 1969 by Ken Thompson.
  UnixTime counts "epochs" or seconds since the Year 1970. UnixTime
  recently hit it's billionth birthday.

  Because Unix is widely used in many environments, UnixTime was developed
  into a loose simple time protocol in the late 80's and early 90's. No
  formal UnixTime protocol has ever been officially published as an internet
  protocol - until now.

  UnixTime operates on the same UnixTime port - 519. Once a connection is
  requested on this port, exactly like in Time Protocol, the UnixTime value
  is sent back by either tcp/ip or udp/ip. When UDP/IP is used, a small packet
  of data must be received by the server in order to respond in the exact same
  fashion as Time Protocol. The UnixTime is then sent as an unsigned
  "unformatted" integer on the same port.
