Selection Criteria

Client Mode - Specifies the mode of operation of SNTP Client. An SNTP client may operate in one
of the following modes.

Disable - SNTP is not operational. No SNTP requests are sent from the client nor are any
received SNTP messages processed.

Unicast - SNTP operates in a point to point fashion. A unicast client sends a request to a
designated server at its unicast address and expects a reply from which it can determine the
time and, optionally the round-trip delay and local clock offset relative to the server.

Broadcast - SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode but uses a local
broadcast address instead of a multicast address. The broadcast address has a single
subnet scope while a multicast address has Internet wide scope.

Multicast - SNTP operates in the same manner as multicast mode and uses a local
multicast address.

Configurable Data
