  1. ABC

    see RFC5905

    3. Protocol Modes

    There are three NTP protocol variants: symmetric, client/server, and
    broadcast. Each is associated with an association mode (a
    description of the relationship between two NTP speakers) as shown in
    Figure 1. In addition, persistent associations are mobilized upon
    startup and are never demobilized. Ephemeral associations are
    mobilized upon the arrival of a packet and are demobilized upon error
    or timeout.

    | Association Mode | Assoc. Mode Value | Packet Mode Value|
    +——————-+——————-+——————+
    | Symmetric Active | 1 | 1 or 2 |
    | Symmetric Passive | 2 | 1 |
    | Client | 3 | 4 |
    | Server | 4 | 3 |
    | Broadcast Server | 5 | 5 |
    | Broadcast Client | 6 | N/A |
