Depends on your topology. What do you mean by destination? Is this an
external lsa?
OSPF is a link state protocol. If you have an adjacency to a neighbor over
two equal cost paths, and that neighbor is advertising an external lsa,
there may well only be one lsa in the link state database, but two paths to
the router advertising that link state.
