      • autonat:
        • we have implemented 1.0.0 version of specs; available via withAutonat on SwitchBuilder
        • missing the most recent is 2.0.0 version - go-libp2p has that implemented
      • hole punching:
        • there is service that implements this logic and there is test for service;
        • no support via SwitchBuilder to enable hole punching. it can be added manually to SwitchBuilder using withServices method.
