big iron support ipv6 these days?
My research associate Ms. Google advises me that Juniper does:

As does Cisco:

R's,

Both have sprawling product lines though even with fsvo big iron. It would be nice to hear that they can build out big networks, but given the use of ipv6 in mobile I assume they can. I wonder what the situation is for enterprise which doesn't have any direct drivers that I know of.
