happy CGN -- beating happy eyeballs and trending toward E2E success

[Andrew Dickinson]

Is there any reason to have a delay at all (at least for TCP)?

Would it be unreasonable for a client implementation to simultaneously
send a SYN on both v4 and v6?  It would then issue a RST for the
SYN-ACK that arrives last.  I recognize that this may need to be done
at the application layer which probably makes it a no-go of a
generalized solution, but I suspect it could be incorporated into an
OS's TCP stack.
