They exist are starting to exist and the feature sets keep expanding. I just wish that all vendors would stop shipping IPv4 only equipement. For example the D-LINK DIR-615 does just about everything upsteam except SLAAC which you want if you want to insert it into the middle of your network and not at the border. I havn't explictly asked D-LINK about SLAAC upstream but I couldn't find it in the manual. Newer firmware I believe does PD (again not in the manuals on the web). D-LINK claim they have routers that do 6rd. The DIR-615 is priced within a home budget but at the upper end. I was looking to buy one for home.
