Because you asked: > So, how does the NTS-KE and NTPD server know what cookie format(s) are in > use? How does the NTS-KE server know which cookie formats to issue for which > NTPD servers? That was tangled up in a discussion of generating cookies on the NTS-KE server in parallel with generating them on the NTP server. In the normal case, there is only one cookie format wired into both. The way to make the which-format question interesting would be to change the format on the fly, so I described a way to do that. > Yes, as Section 6 of the Proposed RFC suggests: That's not a detailed spec, just an outline. We might decided to change the size of a field. Not likely, but worth thinking about. -- These are my opinions.
