One would hope that *that* metric wouldn't be involved. I routinely
could have a couple ssh clients, an ftp client and one or two web browsers
open...
2 x ssh = 2 tcp connections.
1 x ftp = 2 tcp connections, 1 command and 1 data.
1 x browser = potentially several connections, depending on how much
content there is on the page I'm viewing.
