> 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
