#27736: Make sure that Tor doesn't build an IPv4 and an IPv6 connection to the same
relay
------------------------------+------------------------------
Reporter: teor | Owner: teor
Type: defect | Status: assigned

Component: Core Tor/Tor | Version:
Severity: Normal | Keywords: tor-client ipv6

------------------------------+------------------------------
When we implement #17835, Tor will choose between IPv4 and IPv6 at random.
I'm pretty sure that we prefer existing connections to the same relay,
even if the chosen address doesn't match.
But I need to read the client code to make sure this check is done on
clients and relays. And I need to run the new code to make sure we're not
doubling the number of connections that Tor clients make.
