Quagga fully supports IPv6 routing. As described so far, Quagga supports

+RIPng, OSPFv3, Babel and BGP-4+. You can give IPv6 addresses to an interface
and configure static IPv6 routing information. Quagga IPv6 also provides
automatic address configuration via a feature called @code{address
auto configuration}. To do it, the router must send router advertisement
