I have never seen a router that cost more for IPv6 capabilities or saw IPv6 compatibility advertised as a bleeding-edge feature by any vendor in my professional career. Even the historical Catalyst 6500 series had native IPv6 support and could handle a full global routing table in their time.
"Back then", so like 1999-ish, some vendors did have the great idea to make IPv6 support an extra feature you had to pay for. Or spontaneously decided that some hardware would not get the OS upgrade with v6 in it (like, the RSFC for the Cat5500, or the Cisco 4700 router series) so they could sell you new stuff instead. But that was in the dark ages. Not even I am running such old gear anymore. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
