             Summary: Change in IPv4 versus IPv6 picking algorithm
                 Key: JGRP-2343
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2343
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Bela Ban
            Assignee: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 4.1.1


When https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-2305 was implemented, IPv4 was favored unless {{java.net.preferIPv6Addresses}} was set.

However, this makes the following case fail: no {{java.net.preferXXX}} option is set and the configuration contains one or more IPv6 addresses, e.g. {{UDP bind_addr="::1"}}.

This will fail, as the new algorithm sets the stack type as IPv4 (it works when {{java.net.preferIPv6Addresses}} is set).

Change:
* Look at all IP addresses in a configuration
* If all addresses are IPv6 and the stack type is IPv4 (and IPv6 is available) -> switch to IPv6 as stack type
* If all addresses are IPv4 and the stack type is IPv6 (and IPv4 is available) -> switch to IPv4 stack type
