utility. In contrast, ntpq uses NTP mode 6 (MODE_CONTROL), while
routine NTP time transfers use modes 1 through 5. Upon receipt of an
incorrect mode 7 request or a mode 7 error response from an address
that is not listed in a 'restrict ... noquery' or 'restrict ...
ignore' segment, ntpd will reply with a mode 7 error response and log
a message.'

response packet sent to ntpd host B, both A and B will continuously
send each other error responses, for as long as those packets get
through.'

response packet sent to ntpd host A, then host A will
respond to itself endlessly, consuming CPU and logging
excessively.'."
