IIRC, there are few implementations that do that. openntpd is probably the most widely used one. As a server, it just checks if the packet is 48 or 64 octets long and that the mode is 1 or 3. It doesn't support extension fields. Sending requests with length != 48 would be a simple way to prevent it from responding (correctly). > I propose we just avoid this situation entirely by making NTS a > mandatory part of v5. I don't think that is a good idea. I'm sure we can figure out something simple that doesn't require TCP or TLS. For instance, moving the origin field in the header would prevent such broken servers from sending a valid response. -- Miroslav Lichvar
