Does Intel offer an IPv6 version of PXE?

UEFI drivers compatible with IPv6
Intel® Ethernet UEFI drivers are compatible with IPv6 and remote boot solutions using UEFI such as iSCSI and PXE. Use the latest UEFI driver to ensure IPv6 compatibility.

Intel® Boot Agent for legacy BIOS
Systems with legacy BIOS can continue to use Intel® Boot Agent.  Intel Boot Agent is compliant to PXE standard version 2.1, which is defined as part of the IPv4 protocol suite. The IPv4 and IPv6 protocol suites can coexist within the same network infrastructure; therefore, the Intel® Boot Agent PXE solution can be used in an IPv6 environment. Intel has no plans to update Intel® Boot Agent for IPv6.

Intel Boot Agent features are now part of the Intel® Ethernet Connections Boot Utility.
