Ray, Appreciate the review. I will send another email to reply to your questions related to use cases. Other questions have been addressed below.

Yes. Note RFC 4862 is interface-specific for DAD of each IPv6 address used by the interface and RFC 4861 is also interface-specific for the ND protocol. >Should the node generate a separate nonce per instance of the DAD >algorithm, or per interface initialisation? Anytime DAD is performed by a network interface for an IPv6 address, a separate nonce is generated. The reason is because, by definition, a nonce is used only once and the interface has to perform DAD for each IPv6 address used by the interface. Our document is using the nonce defined by RFC 3971. See section 2 of RFC 3971 and the definition of the "Nonce" term on page 5. Other sections in RFC 3971 has additional details on the Nonce Option. >When is it safe for a node to garbage collect the stored nonce? >When should a node garbage collect the stored nonce [e.g. to cover >equipment moves and interface re-patching]? >Once DAD completes? Once DAD completes.
