I agree, this becomes a matter of semantics. I stated in my email that a single p2p link connecting to a neighbor establishes one adjacency. A level-1/level-2 IS (router) implies a minimum of two p2p links, one connecting to a level-1 IS and another connecting to a level-2 IS. Thus, two neighbors and two adjacencies. I was taking a simpler approach to my email :-) Thank you for the clarification...
 
Best regards.

#2.  

Depends - I believe by default L1/L2 is enabled on Juniper, therefore 2 adjacencies. Otherwise, if L1 only or if L2 only, then only a single adjacency.

hi all:
   When I study isis, I meet the problem:
1  Which network layer use to encapsulation isis-pdu?
Is it clnp or ip? 
 
CF: The OSI packets (or PDUs) are forwarded "as is" or transmitted directly over the underlying link layer without the need for encapsulation - per RFC 1195.
 
2  How many IS-IS adjacency between point-to-point routers?
 
CF: IIH (IS-IS Hello) PDUs are utilized to initialize and maintain adjacencies between neighbors. On a p2p link, one neighbor creates one adjacency. Do you have a more specific question that needs answering?
