# Test IPv6 force_forwarding interface property
#
# This test verifies that the force_forwarding property works correctly:
# - When global forwarding is disabled, packets are not forwarded normally
# - When force_forwarding is enabled on an interface, packets are forwarded
#   regardless of the global forwarding setting
