The association mode of the NTP server, with values coded as follows:
Peer - A host operating in this mode sends periodic messages regardless
of the reachability state or stratum of its peer. By operating in this mode
the host, usually a LAN workstation, announces its willingness to be
synchronized by, but not to synchronize the peer.
Server - This type of association is ordinarily created upon arrival of a
client request message and exists only in order to reply to that request,
after which the association is dissolved. By operating in this mode the
host, usually a LAN time server, announces its willingness to
synchronize, but not to be synchronized by the peer.
