Description
#### Location
autonat.go file
lines 37 - 42
```
// Reflects the confidence on of the NATStatus being private, as a single
// dialback may fail for reasons unrelated to NAT.
// If it is <3, then multiple autoNAT peers may be contacted for dialback
// If only a single autoNAT peer is known, then the confidence increases
// for each failure until it reaches 3.
confidence int
```
#### Description
It seems that initially the confidence variable was used for private status, now it seems to measure the confident in the current status, but the comments haven't been updated.
