Help: How long to wait in milliseconds for IPv6 before trying IPv4
|

Happy eyeballs is an algorithm that attempts to connect to both IPv4 and IPv6
|
||
|
|
addresses for dual-stack hosts, preferring IPv6 first for the number of
|
||
|
|
milliseconds. If the IPv6 address cannot be connected to within that time then
|
||
|
|
a connection attempt is made to the IPv4 address in parallel. The first
|
||
|
|
connection to be established is the one that is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The range of suggested useful values is limited. Happy Eyeballs RFC 6555 says
|
||
|
|
"It is RECOMMENDED that connection attempts be paced 150-250 ms apart to
|
||
|
|
balance human factors against network load." libcurl currently defaults to
|
||
|
|
200 ms. Firefox and Chrome currently default to 300 ms.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
