We show that an average of 98.97% of the NTP servers that are reachable using not-ECT marked packets are also reachable using ECT(0) marked UDP packets, and that 98% of network hops pass ECT(0) marked packets without clearing the ECT bits. We compare reachability of the same hosts using ECN with TCP, finding that 82.0% of those reachable with TCP can successfully negotiate and use ECN. Our findings suggest that ECN is broadly usable with UDP traffic, and that support for use of ECN with TCP has increased.

Yep. So my follow-on questions are:

Would a NTP reflection attack be worse with ecn enabled?
Should ntp servers accept ect marked packets in the first place? If
so, what, if anything, should they do with a CE?
