and, of course, backbone and aggregation equipment that can actually
handle real ipv6 traffic flows with acls and chocolate syrup.

Not to mention, you want to be able to do the regular antispoofing etc and 
your security devices (which might be based on L2 switches doing DHCP 
snooping) doesn't do IPv6, so you need to replace them (or live with lower 
security) and this needs serious budget.

Or you'll have to revert to what you did before dhcp filtering switches.

Which was watch for replies from rogues and then update your mac filters 
accordingly or drop the host onto a quarantine vlan. should work quite 
well for rogue RAs and rogue dhcpv6 servers.

Obviously it's reactive rather than proactive but it can be quite 
effective if automated.
