A lot of vendor information on this, etc. can be summarized over at

This is why I asked: at some point last year, those guys said NO
firewalls were IPv6-ready yet.
From their last tests
(http://www.moonv6.org/project/july2006/Moonv6_2006_Whitepaper.pdf) it
seemed they accomplished a lot of their tasks. They didn't include the
list of vendors that tested though:
// PAGE 7
Firewall deep-inspection functionality of application traffic in a mixed
IPv4/IPv6 environment was validated and compared with the same test
scenarios in an IPv4 oenvironment. A realistic protocol mix was
configured to simulate the forwarding and blocking capabilities in an
actual network.
A critical concern that must be addressed in an IPv4/IPv6 transition
environment is equivalent quality of the user experience. If a security
device performs adequately wIPv4, it should also sustain comparable
performance levels when processing mixed IPv4/IPv6 and pure IPv6
traffic. Responding to that concern, the 2006 Moonv6 Transition Test
Suite included performance tests that compared security devices IPv6 and
mixed IPv4/IPv6 performance. These tests used real-world application mix
traffic to measure the metrics. The tests successfully validated that
security devices casustain adequate performance and QoE levels in
transition IPv4/IPv6 environments.
