• status: not started
• start-date: 2026/07/01

Description §

• Continue the NAT traversal work through nim-libplum, using libplum as the preferred path for PCP, NAT-PMP, and UPnP support.

• Decide whether consumers should migrate directly to nim-libplum or whether a compatibility layer / nat-traversal API emulation is worth implementing.
