I must say I'm surprised at the amount of ntp (123/udp) traffic there is around, although it makes sense I guess.

My guess is that this is due to a large number of DSL routers sold now having NTP servers in them to set their clocks. Even if the end users don't know they're using NTP (or WTF NTP is), they are. <snip> Are you aware that Windows XP (SP2 at least) enables NTP by default... Just a thought, James Butler, CHCH NZ
