I'd like to propose additional text be added to section 14 on SNTP in
the NTPv4 protocol draft. I'm requesting this addition due to an issue
that came up last week with an SNTP client.
Suggested text:
"An SNTP client MUST only send mode 3 packets (client) and MUST only
accept mode 4 (server) and mode 5 (broadcast) packets. An SNTP client
MAY send or receive mode 6 (NTP control) packet. All other packet modes
MUST be ignored.
An SNTP server MUST not send mode 3 (client) packets."
Any objections or refinements?
Danny
