broadcastclient statement

The broadcastclient statement instructs the local ntpd daemon to synchronize the local system time using incoming NTP broadcasts. In order to calculate the local system time, the message runtime with respect to the server is required. To measure this, a brief data exchange is initiated with the broadcast server when the first broadcast message is received, unless the broadcastdelay statement was used to specify a message runtime.
