> If the client explicitly requested an ip family - why the server must waste resources and allocated a useless (possibly) socket of a different family ?

Right. So:

No REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY: allocate both, IPv4 goes first
REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY = IPv4: allocate only IPv4
REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY = IPv6: allocate only IPv6
REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY = IPv4+IPv6: allocate both, order doesn't matter

> The server resources must be taken into account, too.

Right. And single-stack servers too. And local security policy.

But seriously, just provision your TURN server with a /96 and let it go
wild. :)
