+### IPv4 forwarding
+To be able to route (static or dynamic) on the interface it is
+required to enable forwarding. This setting controlls if packets
+received on this interface can be forwarded.
+   ```
+   admin@example:/config/> edit interface eth0
+   admin@example:/config/interface/eth0/> set ipv4 forwarding
+   admin@example:/config/interface/eth0/> leave
+   admin@example:/>
+   ```
+
+### IPv6 forwarding
+This flag behaves totally different than for IPv4. For IPv6 the
+ability to route between interfaces is always enabled, instead this
+flag controls if the interface will be in host/router mode.
