Clients send mode 3, servers send mode 4. I see the sentence in RFC
5905 you're referring to and it seems to be an error. It correctly
refers to client packets as mode 3 and server packets as mode 4 in
several other places, as do previous RFCs such as 4330.

I'm a bit amazed that it's taken this long for anyone to spot this.
