Actually I think they're describing two hosts where one has the DF flag set and the other doesn't for the same protocol. (In other words, they can count at least 2.)

Anyhow, porting over the OpenBSD generator to Linux can be done easily if you choose a different method for seeding. (Munging the time stamp counter with a pretty big prime number and a little bit of bit shifting can make for a decent seed value.) Linux has their own way of handling in-kernel randomness pools, but I did not use that.
