I don't know much about the protocol, e.g. how accurately it describes what current versions of ntpd/ntpq/ntpdc use, but I think the document should make it more clear that it is not recommended for new applications. Should it be labelled as "historic"? The issue with amplification is a major problem. It is possibly the most severe security issue NTP ever had in terms of damage. It's the reason why some ISPs now block the UDP port 123 by default. If it cannot be fixed, it should be deprecated. -- Miroslav Lichvar _______________________________________________ TICTOC mailing list TICTOC@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tictoc
