48 bits MAC is not globally unique (found that out the hard way). But hashing several MACs on the links of a disconnected sites toghere with a timestamp will do I guess.
It is actually my (weak) understanding that taking more inputs does not actually result in more "uniqueness", at least for random number generation. Does anyone know how that works for hashing?
