"""Two-way LoRa bridge over TCP — relay packets between two DongLoRa dongles
across any IP network (LAN, Tailscale, WireGuard, internet).

Architecture:
    [Radio A] <-USB-> [DongLoRa A] <-TCP-> [DongLoRa B] <-USB-> [Radio B]

Usage:
    # Machine A (server):
    python examples/lora_bridge.py --mode server --port 9100

    # Machine B (client):
    python examples/lora_bridge.py --mode client --host machineA --port 9100

Both sides:
    - Open local DongLoRa, configure radio, start RX
    - Forward received LoRa packets -> TCP -> remote side -> TX
    - Bidirectional: both sides receive AND transmit
