    That seems unlikely since NTP runs on UDP.
    
    While I'm here, someone may find these templates to secure NTP on *nix
    systems and ciscos useful.
    
    /etc/ntp.conf file to look as follows:
    
    ---8< cut here >8---
    # default file location - /etc/ntp.conf
    #
    # Don't serve time/stats, don't allow others to talk to you
    restrict default notrust nomodify noquery notrap nopeer ignore
    
    # primary time server
    server <host.domain> prefer
    
    # add secondaries if necessary
    # server <host.domain>
    
    # If you have a well known netblock from which you'll get time
    # put that block here, you could also specifiy individual hosts
    restrict a.b.c..0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify noquery notrap nopeer
    
    # Default time drift file
    driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
    
    # Log time changes/events in case analysis is needed later
    logconfig =syncevents +peerevents +sysevents +allclock
    ---8< cut here >8---
    
    in global config on ciscos:
    
    ! default deny everything
    access-list 1 deny any
    ! permit only ntp server to talk ntp with cisco
    ! a.b.c.d is your ntp server or use a netblock if necessary
    access-list 2 permit a.b.c.d
    access-list 2 deny any
    ntp access-group query-only 1
    ntp access-group peer 2
    ntp access-group serve 1
    ntp access-group serve-only 1
    ntp server a.b.c.d
