Route-Reflector-Client
######################

Test BGP **address-family ipv6-unicast route-reflector-client** functionality for iBGP sessions.
In iBGP, routes learned from one peer are not re-announced to other iBGP peers
(split-horizon rule). A Route Reflector (RR) bypasses this rule and reflects
routes between its clients. DUT0 acts as the RR, DUT1 and DUT2 are clients.

***********************************************************
iBGP IPv6 Without Route Reflector Does Not Propagate Routes
***********************************************************

Description
===========

Verify that without **route-reflector-client**, iBGP does not re-announce
routes learned from one peer to another (split-horizon rule). DUT1 announces
a network but DUT2 does not receive it.

Route Reflector IPv6 Reflects Routes Between Clients
****************************************************

Description
===========

Verify that **address-family ipv6-unicast route-reflector-client** enables the Route Reflector
to reflect routes from one iBGP client to another. DUT1 announces a network
and DUT2 receives it via DUT0 (the RR).
