OSPFv3 includes a mechanism to support multiple instances of the
protocol running on the same interface. OSPFv2 can utilize such a
mechanism in order to support multiple routing domains on the same
subnet.
This document defines the OSPFv2 Instance ID to enable separate
OSPFv2 protocol instances on the same interface. Unlike OSPFv3 where
the Instance ID can be used for multiple purposes, such as putting
the same interface in multiple areas, the OSPFv2 Instance ID is
reserved for identifying protocol instances.
