Looking at ntpq_ops.c/decodeaddrtype(), it only shows "b" for an IPv4

That's not surprising since that basically defines broadcasting. IPv6
does not have broadcast.

Fair enough for IPv6 then, but in IPv4 if your local net is say
192.168.1.128/27, your broadcast address is 192.168.1.159.

Perhaps some use should be made of pmode=MODE_BROADCAST?
