Yeah, the name is straight from marketing (implying happy people seeing a fast website). It simply means that clients detect which is the better connection (whether IPv4 or IPv6) rather than naive IPv6-first or IPv4-first. RFC Standards about this:
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6555
and
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8305
Unfortunately OkHttp is naively priotising IPv6 regardless if the IPv6 connection is good or not.
