Quote from ietf-ip.yang.

     leaf forwarding {
        type boolean;
        default false;
        description
          "Controls IPv6 packet forwarding of datagrams received by,

           forward datagrams.  IPv6 hosts do not (except those
           source-routed via the host).";
        reference
          "RFC 4861: Neighbor Discovery for IP version 6 (IPv6)
                     Section 6.2.1, IsRouter";
      }
