Hole punching in go-libp2p with hosts behind NAT?
I am exploring the concept of hole punching in a network where both hosts are behind NAT using go-libp2p. Are there any examples, tutorials, or resources available that demonstrate how to achieve hole punching in this scenario using go-libp2p? Any insights or code snippets would be greatly appreciated.

1To enable hole punching in go-libp2p, you can utilize the libp2p.New(libp2p.EnableHolePunching()) option. This feature should function automatically when establishing connections with other peers, provided that relays are accessible [1]. Additionally, you have the option to employ functionalities such as libp2p.EnableAutoRelay() and autorelay.WithPeerSource() to assist in the hole punching process [2].
