Hello,
    I have couple of doubts w.r.to OSPF-V3's Instance ID interpretation
1. Can one router interface have more than one "Instance ID"
configured simultaneously ?
OSPF-V3 MIB draft (draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-mib-08) indicates that it is
not possible. However, RFC-2740 indirectly points that it is possible.
Following is the excerpt from the RFC-2740

  "Another use for running multiple OSPF instances is if you want, for
   one reason or another, to have a single link belong to two or more
   OSPF areas."

2. Can LSAs received from a neighbor 'A' which has instance ID=2 be
flooded to another neighbor B that has instance ID=5 ?

       InstanceID=2                  InstanceID=5
A=================R================B


Thanks in advance for any help.
