The copy of BSCN that I have has a single area config with 3 routers but only one router config with only one OSPF process on page 126. I would assume that the example in question would be making the point that the OSPF PID is only significant to the local router.

Probably the best I have read of all technical boooks to date. One question for those of you who have used or are using this book.... On page 126 it shows a configuration for a single area, with 2 routers having 2 different process ID's. I am confused as to why anyone would do this as multiple process ID's add overhead to the CPU. I was always under the impression that multiple OSPF instances should only need to be run in certain obscure situations. In reading this, it looks to me like this is an error. HELP?
