If you had three routers concurrently, then using OSPF terminology, then
only one router would become the Designated Router, and it would
announce the prefix. The others would have to agree to remember that
prefix for that link.
If, however, you decided to try three routers in a sequential way
(trying each one out to see if you liked it...), then would get three
prefixes assigned to that link, and remembered by each router.
