Description about the talk
The Ruby socket library, familiar to many, actually has an issue: it cannot quickly fallback to the other address family if it fails to resolve names or connect in either IPv6 or IPv4.<br/> I am challenging this with Happy Eyeballs Version 2 (HEv2) algorithm specified in [RFC8305](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8305). The algorithm performs name resolution for IPv6 and IPv4 almost simultaneously, prioritizing IPv6 but enabling fallback to IPv4. This sounds like a simple and nice idea!<br/> However, as I started the implementation, I realized that understanding the complex properties of HEv2, devising strategies to solve issues, and programming it is a kind of adventure.<br/> In this presentation, I will talk about how to get through them and how interesting it is to implement dual-stack support for socket libraries.<br/>
