This implementation-specific procedure is called from the
initialization procedure to define an association. The addresses and modes of the peers are determined using information read during
the reboot procedure or as the result of operator commands. The authentication variables are used only if the authentication mechanism
described in Appendix C is implemented. The values of these variables are determined using procedures
beyond the scope of NTP itself. With the authentication bits set as suggested, only properly authenticated peers can become the
synchronization source.
