A NTP packet is about 80 bytes. On a 10 Mbit connection, that's about
64 microseconds. On a 100 Mbit connection, 6.4 microseconds. There's
some turnaround time in the stack and processing between receipt and
reply but it's getting even shorter :-).

If you want to see who ntpd's been talking to recently, ntpdc -c monlist
will tell you what you want. You can also turn on various degrees of
logging about communications with peers. I would be very dubious about
getting any information of value from /proc/net/udp (not that I know
what it does but I'd be surprised if you could learn much!)
