could you point me to the text where it is specified as a
"per-interface knob"?
in KAME stack (I guess Pekka is referring to KAME), per-host
"forwarding" flag decides whether it is a router or not (there's no
"interface A and B are host, interface C and D are router" kind of
configuration), and it affects outgoing IsRouter bit on NS/NA.
