Bravo to Alpha isn't even mentioned in the draft: it speaks as
though the two are the same client program.<br>
<br>
Charlie to Delta is the big acknowledged unknown. I think the word
you might be looking for is "transaction".<br>
<br>
"It's whatever is needed to verify the cookie from Alpha."<br>
<br>
Whatever needs to be communicated on that channel it can't be
verifying cookies and also be "only an occasional ???". Verifying
cookies means every single ntp packet that comes in to Charlie has
to be checked with Delta.<br>
