Description

My router has support for NAT-PMP and PCP, but not for uPNP.

go-ipfs redirects the IPv4 port, but doesn't seem to open a firewall hole for the IPv6 port.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the current NAT traversal implementation and add support for the Port Control Protocol (PCP) alongside existing UPnP and NAT PMP. Focus on integrating PCP client library and handling IPv6 port mapping.
