This is correct, I think.  The 'echo' services simply sends back all
packets it recieves, and works with both udp and tcp packets.

That is definately wrong.  It should be
http            80/tcp                          # www is used by some broken
www             80/tcp                          # progs, http is more correct
or
http         80/tcp    www

http does not use udp at all, and if this is in your /etc/services then
your /etc/services is broken.

HTH.
