### [Fast Fallback](https://square.github.io/okhttp/5.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-ok-http-client/-builder/fast-fallback)

Since version 5.0, `OkHttpClient` supports fast fallback, which is our implementation of Happy Eyeballs [RFC 6555](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6555).

With fast fallback, OkHttp attempts to connect to multiple web servers concurrently. It keeps whichever route connects first and cancels all of the others. Its rules are:

| com.squareup.okhttp3:mockwebserver:5.0.0         | okhttp3.mockwebserver | Obsolete. Depends on JUnit 4.     |

**OkHttp now supports Happy Eyeballs ([RFC 8305][rfc_8305]) for IPv4+IPv6 networks.** It attempts
both IPv6 and IPv4 connections concurrently, keeping whichever connects first.

**We’ve improved our Kotlin APIs.** You can skip the builder:

```kotlin

    /**
     * Configure this client to perform fast fallbacks by attempting multiple connections
     * concurrently, returning once any connection connects successfully.
     *
     * This implements Happy Eyeballs ([RFC 6555][rfc_6555]), balancing connect latency vs.
     * wasted resources.
     *
     * Defaults to enabled, call with [fastFallback] = false to revert to 4.x behaviour.
     *
