My understanding is that this is used because multiple OSPFv3 instances will potentially run over the same physical interface, and therefore use the same IPv6 addresses, and the instance ID will help in delivery of incoming OSPFv3 packets. New for OSPFv3 is the fact that neighbors are identified solely by their router Id (Section 3.2.2.1), this should imply that there needs to be an enforcement of no duplicate router Id's so that every instance of ospfv3 configured on a router must have its own unique router Id. Am I correct in this assumption? > Hi Gail, No. Rather, I'd assume that the instances are part of separate areas or routing domains. Thanks, Acee > >Thanks in advance, >Gail > > >
