Crate ant_quic

ant-quic: QUIC transport protocol with advanced NAT traversal for P2P networks

This library provides a clean, modular implementation of QUIC-native NAT traversal using raw public keys for authentication. It is designed to be minimal, focused, and highly testable, with exceptional cross-platform support.

The library is organized into the following main modules:

• transport: Core QUIC transport functionality
• nat_traversal: QUIC-native NAT traversal protocol
• discovery: Platform-specific network interface discovery
• crypto: Raw public key authentication
• api: High-level P2P networking API
