If the origin timestamp in a response contained a transmit timestamp of a previous response to the same client/peer, how could it pass the loopback test at the client/peer? It needs to be a timestamp copied from the request. For compatibility with RFC 5905 it needs to be the transmit timestamp from the request (aka basic mode). > The offset and delay are computed as usual.

The linked document doesn't describe the on-wire protocol in enough detail for me to understand it. I'd like to see an example with few exchanges showing all timestamps in packets. If the protocol really is supposed to be compatible with the current ntp.org implementation, I don't think it could be very different from the ntp-interleaved-modes draft discussed in this last call. The compatibility was one of the goals. The main difference to the ntp.org implementation is that it automatically switches between processing packets in basic and interleaved mode, which is needed in some corner cases, e.g. when polling intervals of two peers in a symmetric association don't match. -- Miroslav Lichvar
