That really depends on what kind of "advanced feature" you use/want/need. Routing packets is the easy part. When talking about filtering or EVPN or anything more advanced, we can still see that v6 is a second class citizen for some vendors.
Oh, no doubt. Being able to run the management side of an ISP network (radius, tacacs, syslog, snmp) and also the EVPN/VXLAN or MPLS/LDP6 control planes without IPv4 is still a long way to go with some vendors. But this is not really needed to provide v6 support to customers - and "the ugly internal side of things" can run fine on some old RFC1918 space. (Though interesting new developments have come from the DC side of things, where people build whole underlay networks without any v4 or v6 space, just using link-local point-to-point ethernet segments with BGP on top, transporting v4 and v6 as payload) Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...?
