Sometimes we have the same group for v4 and v6, but in most cases we
have different ones. One of the basic reasons is different max-pref setting.

Most policies can be used in two address families, you can also match
prefixes, but you cannot have v4 and v6 prefixes in one term. So in your
policies you have to have at least two terms - one for v4 prefixes, one
for v6 prefixes.
