I think if you have a dual-stack host you'll just get the v6 version
of stream... I suppose there are happy-eyeball cases where v4 may win
the race though? Is that what you're seeing in this case? (do the
hosts even attempt a AAAA lookup, and a subsequent connect to the v6
address, presuming a AAAA was returned to them)

nbc looks to be using youtube for the streams, so ... any one of their
streams should go over v6 (or v4). This one isn't olympics related,
but streamed over v6 to me...
