Yes, but, IPv6 is in software on sup2, versus h/w forwarding support on 
sup720/sup32.

Well, yes, it does, but I would strongly advise *against* using this module 
for interswitch connections. This is a heavily oversubscribed wiring closet 
positioned card. Would suggest using 6516/6516A or the sup uplinks for 
these interconnects.
