+	/**		EXPLANATION:
+	 * Bind to command port.
+	 *
+	 * WSL2 NAT PORT TRANSLATION ISSUE:
+	 * On Windows 10, WSL2 uses NAT that translates UDP source ports when
+	 * forwarding packets from WSL to the physical network. A socket bound to
+	 * port 56001 in WSL may send from port 52511 on the wire.
+	 *
+	 * The device should use the cmd_port from the handshake message (56001),
+	 * not the translated source port, so this may not break functionality.
+	 * However, Windows NAT behavior can be unpredictable.
+	 *
+	 * Solutions:
+	 * - Windows 11 22H2+: Use WSL2 mirror networking mode (.wslconfig)
+	 * - Run natively on Linux
+	 * - Accept the limitation (may work if device uses cmd_port from handshake)
