I work on IBM's AIX, and our IPv6 code is a port of INRIA's stack. I've been through a few interoperability sessions, and I understand IPv6 fairly well at this point. My own bias is towards INRIA, because that's what we picked to port. At the time the only other choice was NRL, and our lawyer's were very nervous about NRL's code (They would have been nervous about INRIA's code too, but we got rights to it from a French business partner). Well, a third choice was to write our own, but due to time to market and resource constraints that fell by the wayside.
