Comparison of IPv6 support in operating systems

This is a comparison of operating systems in regards to their support of the IPv6 protocol.

OS Version Claimed IPv6-ready Installed by Default DHCPv6 ND RDNSS Notes
AIX 4.3 Yes Yes Yes No
Android 2.3.4 Partial[1] Yes No No
Cisco IOS 15.0 Yes Yes Yes Yes
Fedora 13 Yes Yes[2] Yes[2] Yes[2]
FreeBSD 7.1 Yes[3] Yes Addon[4] No
HP-UX 11i Yes Yes Yes Yes [5]
IBM i 7.1 Yes Yes Yes No [6]
iOS 4.1 Yes Yes Yes Yes[7] iOS supports stateless DHCPv6 since version 4 and stateful DHCPv6 since 4.3.1.
Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) Yes Yes Yes[4] Yes DNS name resolution in versions of Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) before 10.6.8 fails for hosts with a CNAME record.[8][9][10][11] (Many publicly-accessible hosts have CNAME records.) No public APIs work to get the IPv6 host address. DHCPv6 and ND RDNSS (RFC 6106) not available before Lion[12]
MeeGo 1.2 No[13] Yes[14] No Yes[15]
OpenBSD 4.8 Yes Yes
OpenVMS 8.3 Yes Yes No No

Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) Yes Yes Yes Yes
webOS 2.1.0 No No No No [18]
Windows NT 5.1 (XP) Yes No No[4] No Windows XP users can use Dibbler, an open source DHCPv6 implementation [19]
6.0 (Vista) Yes[20] Yes Yes[4] No
6.1 (7) Yes[20] Yes Yes[4] No
Windows Phone 6.5 (Mobile) Yes Yes Lite[21] No If the OEM explicitly unsets the SYSGEN_TCPIP6 pre-processor symbol, the built image will not have any IPv6 capabilities.
7.0 No No No No 7.5 will have some support.[22]
z/OS V1R4.0 Yes Yes No[23]
z/VM V5R1.0 Yes Yes No No [24]
z/VSE V4R2 Addon[25] No Via a third party TCP/IP stack, IP6/VSE from Barnard Software, Inc.
