    net: add sequential and RFC 6555-compliant TCP dialing. · 0d8366e2
    Paul Marks authored
    dialSerial connects to a list of addresses in sequence.  If a
    timeout is specified, then each address gets an equal fraction of the
    remaining time, with a magic constant (2 seconds) to prevent
    "dial a million addresses" from allotting zero time to each.
    
    Normally, net.Dial passes the DNS stub resolver's output to dialSerial.
    If an error occurs (like destination/port unreachable), it quickly skips
    to the next address, but a blackhole in the network will cause the
    connection to hang until the timeout elapses.  This is how UNIXy clients
    traditionally behave, and is usually sufficient for non-broken networks.
    
    The DualStack flag enables dialParallel, which implements Happy Eyeballs
    by racing two dialSerial goroutines, giving the preferred family a
    head start (300ms by default).  This allows clients to avoid long
    timeouts when the network blackholes IPv4 xor IPv6.
