* Support for both IPv4 and IPv6.
* Support both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
* Offer explicit protocol selection. The most common way for command-line tools is via <code>-4</code> and <code>-6</code> command line options.
* Support explicit protocol selection (e.g. via <code>-4</code> and <code>-6</code> and command-line options).
* When no protocol is selected, dual-stack behavior should be used.
* Prefer IPv6 by default.
* When applicable, IPv6 should be preferred.
* Prefer IPv4 when configured so (e.g. via <code>/etc/gai.conf</code>).
* Work well even when IPv6 is disabled in the kernel.
