  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  bos.net.tcp.client         7.1.3.1    C     F    TCP/IP Client Support

lslpp -L ntp.rte
  Fileset                      Level  State  Type  Description (Uninstaller)
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Code:
ls -ltr /usr/sbin/xntpd
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     system           21 Mar 12 2015  /usr/sbin/xntpd -> /usr/sbin/ntp3/xntpd

You need to install the ntp.rte package. Notice that even though you may want the most recent version to be installed you need an "install" (base level) package, which you can update then. You can't install "update" packages without having a base level fileset.

You find the base level fileset perhaps on your installation medium (CD, ....) or, if you have set up one, the lpp_source on your NIM server.

I hope this helps.

That's over 2 years old, update AIX in the first place
Then look at your "security fixes" if you need help!
