Nortel/Bay Networks has IPv6 enabled through their product line in software.  Also, Hitachi has a production router running IPv6, but is available only in Asia.  You should also look at Ipsilon.
 
A free alternative, though, is to use FreeBSD, which works well in a non-production environment if you are just testing.  Copy the IPv6 options section from /etc/defaults/rc.conf into /etc/rc.conf.  You will need to make the following changes:
    ipv6_enable="YES"
    ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"
    ipv6_router_enable="YES"
 
If you want the router to perform router advertisement for neighbor discovery, make the following changes:
    prefixcmd_enable="YES"
    rtadvd_enable="YES"
    ipv6_prefix_[int. name]="your ipv6 prefix"
 
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Can anyone suggest how I can get IPv6 router? Is it available by any reliable vendor? If not, any suggestions?
 
Thanks
