Cisco and Juniper routers have had v6 functionality for over 10 years. Lucent/Nokia, and others. Check UNL list at https://www.iol.unh.edu/registry/usgv6 for v6 compliant routers and switches.
People who work with network devices directly using other APIs than email. phone and slack know that feature parity to this day is not there. And know that IPv6 is a massive time commitment, more than doubling many of the work involved in testing, automating, provisioning and operating. I could explain a lot about the relative merits of IPv4 and IPv6 design and how well those design choices map to silicon or benefit users, but I don't anymore care how bad/good IPv4 and IPv6 are relative to each other, I'm just tired of the dual stack suck and how much it steals from me and my users. And how we, the IP engineer community have failed our customers in this transition. We cocked up, it happened on our watch. -- ++ytti
