> Basically, compile the following code:
The code only set IPV6_V6ONLY on server side, so the client side will
still bind all the local ipv4 addresses (as you didn't call bind() to
bind any specific addresses ). Then after the connection is created,
the client will send HB on the v4 paths to the server. The server
will abort the connection, as it can't support v4.

So you can work around it by either:

  - set IPV6_V6ONLY on client side.

or

  - bind to the specific v6 addresses on the client side.

I don't see RFC said something about this.
So it may not be a good idea to change the current behaviour
to not establish the connection in this case, which may cause regression.
