Happy Eyeballs Algorithm: Success with Dual-Stack Hosts.
455+
When a server's IPv4 path and protocol are working, but the server's
456+
IPv6 path and protocol are not working, a dual-stack client
457+
application experiences significant connection delay compared to an
458+
IPv4-only client. This is undesirable because it causes the dual-
459+
stack client to have a worse user experience. This document
460+
specifies requirements for algorithms that reduce this user-visible
461+
delay and provides an algorithm.
