NTP uses UDP.  Also, NTP uses addresses in the 127/8 space locally for configuration purposes; see the NTP man pages and the main ntp.org website for thorough documentation on all the options and what those other addresses in 127/8 do.

This is one of those cases where you read the full upstream documentation set before you change anything; kindof like attempting an automatic transmission rebuild project where the instructions say clearly 'read entire procedure before performing any work' and the instructions mean that very literally.
