NetBSD 7.0 Yes Yes Yes Yes
OpenBSD 6.6 Yes Yes Add-on[9] Yes RDNSS is only supported for rad(8) so far. As of 6.6, OpenBSD still does not favor IPv6 connectivity if there is IPv4 connectivity.
openSUSE 42.1 (Leap) Yes[23] Yes Yes Yes
OpenVMS 8.3 Yes Yes No No
ReactOS 0.4.11 No No No No Though ReactOS itself has no IPv6 support, ReactOS Foundation services are all IPv6 enabled.

6.x (Vista, 7, 8, 8.1), 10 RTM-Anniversary Update Yes[29] Yes Yes[9] No dnssd-win32 provides an open source implementation of ND RDNSS[30]
10 Creators Update and later Yes[29] Yes Yes[9] Yes Windows 10 Creators Update introduces support for RFC 8106 (6106) RDNSS.
Windows Mobile 6.5 Yes Yes Lite[31] No If the OEM explicitly unsets the SYSGEN_TCPIP6 pre-processor symbol, the built image will not have any IPv6 capabilities.
Windows Phone 7.5 No No No No
8(.1)[32] Yes Yes Yes No Private lab research. No privacy extensions (RFC4941).
z/OS V1R4.0 Yes Yes No[33] ?
z/VM V5R1.0 Yes Yes No No [34]
z/VSE V4R2 Add-on[35] No ? ? Via a third party TCP/IP stack, IP6/VSE from Barnard Software, Inc.

Notes

  • Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor SLAAC cannot automatically configure unicast IPv6 addresses.
  • Operating systems that support neither DHCPv6 nor ND RDNSS cannot automatically configure name servers in an IPv6-only environment.
