Good luck finding an implementation. The v6 designers have recommended against it due to the sheer *stupidity* of the concept, and as a result, Iknow of no extant implementations of NAT on v6 out there.
This is no market. Stunningly enough, IPv4 didn't have NAT back in the early 80's either. I'm guessing that as soon as someone trying to get real work done discovers that they have to renumber their network and all the places where IPv6 addresses have become embedded when they change providers that a market for NATv6 will magically appear.
The whole point of 128 bits of space is to allow, essentially, embedding of routing metadata into the address with *still* enough address bits left overfor any possible size of subnetwork.
The whole point of 128 bits was that it wasn't NSAPs. Rgds, -drc
