Polygraph is designed to test HTTP intermediaries (including L4-7 routers) and does not work on a packet level. Thus, hopefully, it is not the best tool available for low-level IPv6 router testing. On the other hand, it can generate [a lot of] realistic L7 traffic for your tests and can be configured to create DoS or DDoS attack conditions (which justifies this selfish plug). HTH, Alex.
