I want to clarify IPv6 support on the CES and CER. I'm not sure what your SE meant, maybe this was a reference to the software license for IPv6.
IPv6 routing has been supported on the CES and CER starting with release 5.0 (April, 2010). The CES needs the L3_PREM license to run IPv6, while IPv6 is included in the CER base license. The CES is indeed intended to be an edge switch and has less hardware capacity for IP routes than the CER (up to combinations of 32K IPv4 and 8K IPv6 routes on the CES, and 512K IPv4/128K IPv6 routes on the CER).
