[Ntp] Re: I-D Action: draft-ietf-ntp-ntpv5-02.txt

[Dieter Sibold <[e-mail]>]

Hi Miroslav,

thanks for this well written document.

Working group chair's hat off:
I have a question regarding the header fields LI and Flags. According to
the draft:
- LI=3 signals to the client that the server is not synchronised
- Flag=1 signals to the client that the server does not have a source of
time which provides leap information (unknown leap)

I'm wondering why the information about the unknown leap is transmitted by
the field Flags and not bei the field LI? Would it not make sense that all
leap seconds related information is transmitted by the Leap Indicator field
LI? Could the meaning of LI=3 and Flag=1 be swapped? Or are there technical
reasons against this?

- Dieter
