How about:

An SNTP client MUST only send mode 3 packets (client) and mode 6 
(control) packets.  An SNTP client MUST only accept mode 4 (server), 
mode 5 (broadcast) and mode 6 (NTP control) packets. All other packet 
modes MUST be ignored. An SNTP client MAY send only mode 3 packets and 
accept only mode 4 and 5 packets.
