Hiya Bob
We are running OSPFv3 with Quagga on Linux 2.6 on x86 Dell servers here
(3 campuses, ~100 subnets). So far there are few vendors offering Layer
2 switching for IPv6 in our price range. D-Link have pipped 3Com to the
post on this one! Hopefully they will provide an image for our
7700/5500s supporting it, but it'll most likely be implemented in
software only, so I expect we'll have to bite the bullet and buy some
proper core routers sooner or later.
Regards
Chris
