Sup2 would implement IPv6 routing (if it does at all) in software.  
That might be ok for test purposes, but not appreciable workloads.  
Otherwise, you would want a sup720.  

Then you will need to know how many routes you will have to decide 
whether you need an XL size PFC or not.  Read this thread too:
