Hi all,
There are SeND implementations for Junos, Cisco IOS, and there is
DoCoMo's implementation for Linux and FreeBSD.
Apart from the open source SeND implementation for Linux that Sheng have
mentioned, i am also working on the open source SeND implementation for
all *BSDs and Mac that will be finished by the end of September - the
implementation of both the basic SeND spec and the ongoing CSI WG work
(developed within the FreeBSD community and sponsored by Google).
Regards,
Ana

Subject: Re: Node Requirements: Issue 13 - CGA/SeND support
What information do we have from the real world about deployability?
It would be foolish to mandate something that doesn't work well.
I think these are key questions we need to think hard about.
As far as I can tell, SEND has not been implemented in any real
product or major distribution. (It would be good to find out what
implementations have been done and where they have been used.)
More importantly, I don't believe we have any significant operational
experience with the technology. We don't know if the current specs are
sufficient to implement and operate SEND on real networks.
Finally, SEND is new technology, in that there is no IPv4
counterpart. So it isn't just an IPv6 version of something that we
know works fine in IPv4. So again, we should be cautious in how
strongly we recommend its usage. The fact that IPv4 does not have a
SEND equivalent suggests that SEND is not critical technology that
needs to be widely implemented in order for IPv6 to be useful.
There is also a Cga & Send maIntenance (csi) WG that is working on
some SEND extensions, including developing X.509 certificate
management tools that presumably will help in making SEND more
deployable operationally.
This all leads me to conclude that the node requirements doc should
not make SEND even a SHOULD. Ideally, somewhere between a MAY and
SHOULD. I'd love to see SEND implemented and deployed (so we can
figure out how well it works and fix any shortcomings), but I think it
is premature to recommend its implementation an all nodes.
