There is simpler methods with much better error-handling. If I understand it correctly, those are not a problem of the NTPv4 format or protocol, but rather RFC 5905. I'm not sure if a new NTP version is needed to fix that. A draft could specify that NTPv4 implementations are free to use different algorithms and models of the clock than what is specified in RFC 5905. That would just describe the current state. I think it was an idea for the NTPv5 specifications that it would have no algorithms, only the message format and protocol. What I wanted to collect were issues that may require changes in the format itself. Like insufficient resolution of the root delay and dispersion, missing timescale identification, minimum length of extension fields, etc. -- Miroslav Lichvar
