Hi Dan,
I don't think there is anything in RFC 2740 that restricts the usage of
interface ID to a separate instance of OSPFv3 (which would make
instance ID map directly to SNMPv3 context). To the contrary, section
3.9 specifically handles the cases where multiple interfaces on the
same link are configured in the same OSPFv3 instance.

Thanks,
Acee
