Ryan, So far as I am concerned, the mode-6 C&M protocol remains as in rfc1305, althougth not in the current NTPv4 draft. The WG intent is to publish that in a separate draft.
There was never any intent to detail the various billboards and eye candy in the specification, only the status words and read/write commands. These depend on the particular implementation; in the reference implementation these details are in the ntpq and decode documentation pages. They are by design not in the specification, as they change in minor ways as the algorithms evolve and new features are added. Dave Ryan Malayter wrote: > On Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 12:17 PM, David L.
