A protocol with varying packet size, as the NTS protected NTP is, can easily have the bad property of having responses larger than the requests if not taken care. Don’t you see that?
Why? Why not pad requests to guarantee attenuation vector until authenticity of packets can be verified? MinimaLT does this. I think all UDP based and initial TCP should do it, doing it for existing protocols may not be possible, but why not for new? I proposed similar method for proxy-trace (bidir tracerouting) - https://github.com/ytti/proxy-trace/blob/master/draft-ytti-intarea-proxy-tra... -- ++ytti
