If you don't have aggressive restrict lines in your ntp confg to
block/kod the abusive clients you'll see higher packet counts. Adding

discard average 30
discard minimum 3
restrict default kod nomodify limited

to my ntp.conf pretty much solved my abusive client problems and reduced
the traffic by about 50%.
