Dear wireshark-dev,

NTP version 5 is gradually starting to take shape, and I was wondering if support for it in Wireshark has already been considered?

The package format of NTPv5 is significantly different:

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-ntp-ntpv5-06#name-main-differences-between-nt

Running code is already becoming available:

https://github.com/mlichvar/chrony-ntp5

https://github.com/pendulum-project/ntpd-rs

I can imagine there are folks who would welcome tools like Wireshark to help understand the new packet format. I know I would!

Thanks.
