and destination ip is (169.254.169.123)

I am using ntp on my aws ec2 instance.

The IP address 169.254.169.123 is an IANA reserved non-routable internal one.
Is this address one that is local to your Amazon EC2 instance region and
availability location?  When you send a query:

ntpq -c as

Does the billboard show that address as reachable?

FYI Amazon EC2 uses the non-routable network 169.254.169.0/24 for
services local to each datacenter, or even to smaller subdivisions.  So
this is probably an extremely local Amazon time server.

That said, the Amazon part of the pool also contains servers not on that
subnet (I tried a DNS lookup from one of my own EC2 instances, and it
gave back routable IPs).


Enjoy
