OS Implementations

Peter Bieringer's IPv6 Linux HOWTO

IPv6 is partially enabled starting in RedHat 6.2. Each RedHat release implements more and more IPv6 daemons and clients.
In RedHat 7.1, pick up xinetd-2.3.3-1 for 6bone-aware xinetd. This is implemented by a IPv4 xinetd server and a IPv6 xinetd-ipv6 server (they could have been the same server, but they didn't code it right and it will take a lot of rewriting to do it right). xinetd-2.3.3-1 also has security fixes.

FreeBSD has IPv6 built-in [Implementation]
Solaris 8 has IPv6 built-in.
Windows NT/2000 has a IPv6 add-on from Microsoft Research
