Different protocols/ports.

If the difference between server(s) clock(s) and local clock is too big,
ntpd adjusts it in little steps to avoid confusion for processes that rely
on time (i.e. make). So one could eventually get the impression that the
clock is going faster/slower. But only until the clocks are in sync.
