Please clarify "has not been received before". Ever? Or within some
interval?  In IKE, we care about the nonces not being reused during the time
that the node continues to use the same keypair at its end. (In DH,
this means the same y value for g^y). But, you specify a fresh keypair each
time.

Can two nodes U1 and U2 both use the same nonce (by random chance!)
Or must it be unique among all peers?

Storing such nonces is impossible for a constrained node...
Even a non-constained node V won't be able to store many nonces received,
once you count adding indexes to search for the list efficiently.
