2020-06-22, rev -09: This document describes the structure of the control messages that were historically used with the Network Time Protocol before the advent of more modern control and management approaches. These control messages have been used to monitor and control the Network Time Protocol application running on any IP network attached computer. The information in this document was originally described in Appendix B of RFC 1305. The goal of this document is to provide a current, but historic, description of the control messages as described in RFC 1305 and any additional commands implemented in NTP.
