I think they are talking about generating an OC3s worth of traffic. while you could fill it all up w/ ntp packets as one method, I do not beleive it will create the desired result.
but yes, if you are wanting to measure latency across your network or a circuit, ntp when properly synchronized can be quite a useful tool.
I'm not sure what you are saying regarding filling up an OC3 with NTP, but i do know you can calculate simple latency I believe, measurements from normal NTP = but strategically analyzed from remote sources and correctly configured i.e. all s/1 or s/2 with drift. I wont' say I'm the expert at this, I'm the bb wiretap guy :), not the ntp latency guy.......but I've been around a bit. -M
