requiring that a /64 is unique on a link does not avoid DAD.
doesn't the 3GPP specs restrict one end of the link to not use any
addresses from the prefix, if so DAD is not needed.

the only thing I can see requiring an update is that the value of
DupAddrDetectTransmits should default to 1 not 0.

you can turn off DAD in your environment if you know you don't need
it.
