An ntp server can ask other servers for time using client server ntp, and use that information to examine its own time and that of the peer it is looking at. Why is a different over-the-wire version of the protocol needed? You can push time to the server using the symmetric mode, without the server having to know your IP address in advance. This has a major impact on security. When NTP started, I guess very few people cared about that, but now I don't think it's acceptable. -- Miroslav Lichvar
