I don't want to argue about which use case is more important, but it's normal for NTP servers to receive requests at much higher rates than that. In some countries, public servers get hundreds of thousands of packets per second. A server in a local network may have clients polling 128 times per second each. Anyway, if anyone is still interested in finding out the cause of the regression, there is a thing I forgot to mention for the reproducer using ntpperf. chronyd needs to be configured with a larger clientloglimit (e.g. clientloglimit 100000000), otherwise it won't be able to respond to the large number of clients in interleaved mode with a HW TX timestamp. The chronyc serverstats report would show that. It should look like the outputs I posted here before. -- Miroslav Lichvar
