In this case I meant NTP and not UDP. Sorry for not being clear on this. NTP was originally written when networks were much more unreliable than they are today so packet loss was a normal fact of life. NTP if it doesn't receive a response just tries again at its next scheduled time. > I have looked into ntp_proto.c where this is handled > but am currently not through understanding the state stepping. > Not surprising. I too find some of the code difficult to understand.
