Yes, our SBR routers have been shipped since September, 2000 as a commercial IPv4/IPv6 dual router. It supports RIPng, OSPFv3, and BGP4+. I have explained our SBR support and routing protocols in this mailing list once before when the site-local issues were brought up. We are not supporting BGP4+ w/ SBR, but RIPng and OSPFv3. RIPng is easy to support as Brian Haberman explained at Atlanta. For OSPFv3, as you described in I-D, we are allocating separate OSPF process for each area. The current OSPFv3 does not consider SBR at all. This is the reason for separating OSPF processes. I have not played with SBR with DNS, but DNS related issues seem to be very tricky.
