-// Package udpmux provides a custom implementation of a UDP multiplexer
-// that allows multiple logical ICE connections to share a single underlying
-// UDP socket. This is based on Pion's ICE library, with modifications for
-// NetBird's requirements.
-//
-// # Background
-//
-// In WebRTC and NAT traversal scenarios, ICE (Interactive Connectivity
-// Establishment) is responsible for discovering candidate network paths
-// and maintaining connectivity between peers. Each ICE connection
-// normally requires a dedicated UDP socket. However, using one socket
-// per candidate can be inefficient and difficult to manage.
-//
-// This package introduces SingleSocketUDPMux, which allows multiple ICE
-// candidate connections (muxed connections) to share a single UDP socket.
-// It handles demultiplexing of packets based on ICE ufrag values, STUN
-// attributes, and candidate IDs.
-//
-// # Usage
-//
-// The typical flow is:
-//
-//  1. Create a UDP socket (net.PacketConn).
-//  2. Construct Params with the socket and optional logger/net stack.
-//  3. Call NewSingleSocketUDPMux(params).
-//  4. For each ICE candidate ufrag, call GetConn(ufrag, addr, candidateID)
-//     to obtain a logical PacketConn.
-//  5. Use the returned PacketConn just like a normal UDP connection.
-//
-// # STUN Message Routing Logic
-//
-//		When a STUN packet arrives, the mux decides which connection should
-//		receive it using this routing logic:
-//
-//		Primary Routing: Candidate Pair ID
-//		  - Extract the candidate pair ID from the STUN message using
-//		    ice.CandidatePairIDFromSTUN(msg)
-//	   - The target candidate is the locally generated candidate that
-//	     corresponds to the connection that should handle this STUN message
-//		  - If found, use the target candidate ID to lookup the specific
-//		    connection in candidateConnMap
-//		  - Route the message directly to that connection
-//
-//		Fallback Routing: Broadcasting
-//		  When candidate pair ID is not available or lookup fails:
-//		  - Collect connections from addressMap based on source address
-//		  - Find connection using username attribute (ufrag) from STUN message
-//		  - Remove duplicate connections from the list
-//		  - Send the STUN message to all collected connections
-//
-// # Peer Reflexive Candidate Discovery
-//
-//	When a remote peer sends a STUN message from an unknown source address
-//	(from a candidate that has not been exchanged via signal), the ICE
-//	library will:
-//	  - Generate a new peer reflexive candidate for this source address
-//	  - Extract or assign a candidate ID based on the STUN message attributes
-//	  - Create a mapping between the new peer reflexive candidate ID and
-//	    the appropriate local connection
-//
-//	This discovery mechanism ensures that STUN messages from newly discovered
-//	peer reflexive candidates can be properly routed to the correct local
-//	connection without requiring fallback broadcasting.
