DatagramSocketImplFactory has been defined in 1.3.
from Sun doc:
"The following enhancements have been made to networking.:"
...
"New interface java.net.DatagramSocketImplFactory,
 which is used by DatagramSocket to create actual socket implementations.
 This addition makes DatagramSocket consistent with the other socket types,
 by allowing the user to set the DatagramSocketImplFactory through a public
API."
...
This looks better, finally...
