Happy Eyeballs support in Socket.ConnectAsync #861

Description

@scalablecory

This proposal adds APIs needed to implement RFC 8305 "Happy Eyeballs" in Socket.ConnectAsync. This depends on #939.

The simplified description of Happy Eyeballs is that it makes A and AAAA DNS requests in parallel, and then goes back and forth between A and AAAA beginning parallel Connect() at a set interval until it has a connection. This trades more overhead for improved latency of the root ConnectAsync call.

See #26177 (comment) where we decided to explore this as a general Socket feature rather than only SocketsHttpClient.

(API has cancellation support added where there previously hasn't been, to avoid needing to add yet more APIs later. See related #921)

classSystem.Net.Sockets.Socket
{publicstaticboolConnectAsync(SocketTypesocketType,ProtocolTypeprotocolType,SocketAsyncEventArgse,ConnectAlgorithmconnectAlgorithm);}enumSystem.Net.Sockets.ConnectAlgorithm
{// use existing behavior.Default,// use a Happy Eyeballs-like algorithm to connect.Parallel=1}

#26177 would be implemented using this, but is not blocked by it.

                              Happy Eyeballs support in Socket.ConnectAsync #861

                              Description

                              @scalablecory

                              This proposal adds APIs needed to implement RFC 8305 "Happy Eyeballs" in Socket.ConnectAsync. This depends on #939.

                              The simplified description of Happy Eyeballs is that it makes A and AAAA DNS requests in parallel, and then goes back and forth between A and AAAA beginning parallel Connect() at a set interval until it has a connection. This trades more overhead for improved latency of the root ConnectAsync call.

                              See #26177 (comment) where we decided to explore this as a general Socket feature rather than only SocketsHttpClient.

                              (API has cancellation support added where there previously hasn't been, to avoid needing to add yet more APIs later. See related #921)

                              classSystem.Net.Sockets.Socket
                              {publicstaticboolConnectAsync(SocketTypesocketType,ProtocolTypeprotocolType,SocketAsyncEventArgse,ConnectAlgorithmconnectAlgorithm);}enumSystem.Net.Sockets.ConnectAlgorithm
                              {// use existing behavior.Default,// use a Happy Eyeballs-like algorithm to connect.Parallel=1}

                              #26177 would be implemented using this, but is not blocked by it.
