##############
Maximum-Prefix
##############

Scenario to verify BGP **peer-group address-family ipv6-unicast maximum-prefix** inheritance.
When ``maximum-prefix`` is configured on a peer-group under address-family ipv6-unicast,
the session closes if the number of IPv6 prefixes received exceeds the configured limit.

***************************************************************************
Test iBGP IPv6 - Peer-group maximum-prefix closes session on limit exceeded
***************************************************************************

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

Test that ``maximum-prefix`` configured on a peer-group under address-family
ipv6-unicast closes the session when the prefix limit is exceeded. DUT1 initially
advertises 2 prefixes (within limit), then a third is added to exceed the limit,
causing the session to enter Idle (PfxCt).
