Research direction
Start with the NAT overview at https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/nat/overview/ and review how its current list of NAT traversal approaches is structured. Update the page to include NAT hole punching and other relevant options, ensuring the overview no longer presents Automatic Router Configuration as the only approach.
