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