Available Formats [IMG] CSV ID Meaning Source Reference ACST The association belongs to a unicast server [RFC5905] AUTH Server authentication failed [RFC5905] AUTO Autokey sequence failed [RFC5905] BCST The association belongs to a broadcast server [RFC5905] CRYP Cryptographic authentication or identification failed [RFC5905] DENY Access denied by remote server [RFC5905] DROP Lost peer in symmetric mode [RFC5905] RSTR Access denied due to local policy [RFC5905] INIT The association has not yet synchronized for the first time [RFC5905] MCST The association belongs to a dynamically discovered server [RFC5905] NKEY No key found. Either the key was never installed or is not trusted [RFC5905] NTSN Network Time Security (NTS) negative-acknowledgment (NAK) [RFC8915, Section 5.7] RATE Rate exceeded. The server has temporarily denied access because the client exceeded the rate threshold [RFC5905] RMOT Alteration of association from a remote host running ntpdc. [RFC5905] STEP A step change in system time has occurred, but the association has not yet resynchronized [RFC5905] NTP Extension Field Types Registration Procedure(s) Specification Required Expert(s) Unassigned Reference [RFC5905][RFC5906][RFC-ietf-ntp-update-registries-17] Note Field Types in the range 0xF000 through 0xFFFF, inclusive, are reserved for experimentation and development. IANA cannot assign them. Both NTS Cookie and Autokey Message Request have the same Field Type; in practice this is not a problem as the field semantics will be determined by other parts of the message. Note The "Reserved for historic reasons" is for differences between the original documentation and implementation of Autokey and marks the erroneous values as reserved, in case there is an implementation that used the registered values instead of what the original implementation used.
