It's certainly true that we usually talk about Happy Eyeballs in the context of HTTP, but I use it for ssh as well, and I think it's applicable across a broad range of application protocols. It is not applicable to _every_ protocol, but that's as strong a qualification as I'd put on it—saying it's only applicable to HTTP is not correct.
