Is it safe to run multiple vrfs under the same OSPF Process? (NX-OS and IOS-XR feature only)

Is it safe to run multiple vrfs under the same OSPF Process? (NX-OS and IOS-XR feature only)

There seems to be no documents on the net stating how this works. Originally, in the IOS, we all know that we need to associate each vrfs on a separate OSPF process-id. On the NX-OS and IOS-XR though, this idea became blurred because of the vrf configuration mode under the router ospf process configuration.

router ospf 1

  vrf CUSTOMER_A

    router-id x.x.x.x

  vrf CUSTOMER_B

    router-id x.x.x.x

Is the database going to mix-up in a single database? I heard from someone that eventhough they'll mix up in a single database, they will still be recognized by the router thru tags so they'll really won't see each other eventhough they are on the same database.

Anyone who knows how this works?

Thanks!

Have a read thru this

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_NX-OS/IOS_Layer-3_Virtualization_Comparison

It mention that you need one OSPF process per vrf, but it mentions other alternatives as well

Hope it helps
