>However, I agree that 20 bits is small for a nonce. 

Note SEND in RFC 3971 has left the length of the Nonce Option to be 6 bytes or 
higher.  I personally would like any reflected-DAD algorithm to settle on one 
fixed length for the nonce.  Thus a question to the mailer.  Which of 48 or 62 
bits do folks prefer as length of the nonce for the reflected-DAD algorithm?  I 
hope folks do not want to go any higher than 62 bits.  Note the Nonce Option 
has specified that the option end on an 8-byte boundary and since the option is 
in TLV format, 16 bits are already taken by the Type and Length fields of the 
option.

Thanks,

Hemant
