Hi,

For building IOT network, I would like to use Raspberry pi board in ipv6 network
which OS supports ipv6 on Raspberry pi ? OR To support ipv6 which Operating System Images need to use from "http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/". Please clarify.

Also, as part of IOT network development I need to incorporate IOT specific protocols like CoAP, 6LowPan, RPL, DTLS etc., ; The OS suggested should support this as well.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Raghu

All you need to do is update
/etc/modprobe.d/ipv6.conf
add a # in front of line 2

Reboot or use sudo modprobe ipv6 to get it active.

raspbian supports IPV6
I think IIRC that all you have to do is
sudo modprobe ipv6
