This results in the process either failing, because it tries an irtt connection from IPv4 to IPv6 address, or the above test runs the irtt connection completely in IPv4, ignoring the `-6` argument, if both devices can be resolved to an IPv4

Yes, please open a separate issue. Flent uses the host name resolution
mechanism, so in the absence of -4/-6, it should prefer whatever the
host does. However, a -6 should override this, so if it doesn't that's a
bug...
