It looks like 64 bits to me.  You don't need to put an actual time in that 
slot.  Save the time, get a random number.  Put it in the packet and save it 
too.  When a reply arrives, compare the "time stamp" in the packet with the 
saved random number.  If they match, process using the saved time.

There was a draft describing that a year or so ago.
