Yes. Not so much in code inside CloudStack, but mainly in figuring out DHCPv6
stuff and searching for the right components.

The DHCPv6 part is something that I would like to see handled by Kea. Blogged
about my tests with Kea: http://blog.widodh.nl/2016/02/isc-kea-dhcpv6-server/

The security grouping part could be done by libvirt:
* https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-1164
*
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/cloudstack-dev/201601.mbox/%3C568CE637.4000507%40widodh.nl%3E

This supports both IPv4 and IPv6. So this combined brings us to:
- Kea for DHCPv6
- Libvirt for KVM Security Grouping

I haven't gotten to writing any actual code since this mainly means that a MAJOR
overhaul is needed of the internals of CloudStack. All the code now assumes IPv4
addresses in there...
