+//   - Dual-stack: Simultaneous IPv4 and IPv6 support via separate clients

+//
+//   - PEER opcode: For outbound peer connections (not needed for inbound NAT traversal)
+//   - THIRD_PARTY option: For managing mappings on behalf of other devices
+//   - PREFER_FAILURE option: Requires exact external port or fail (IPv4 NAT only, not needed for IPv6 pinholing)
