Is there a command for checking how many TCP connections and traffic?

this is for when one is logged in via SSH

That works, but I was thinking more along the lines of a summary.

maybe it doesn't exist

perharps netstat -ta | grep -c "tcp"?

no, that didn't do much of anything.

you want to know how many TCP connections, right?
To know how much traffic, you can install MRTG on your server. With some tricks (search here on WHT for post made by rutrow) you can get MRTG to look for the traffic on your linux box (which basically reads the traffic from /proc/net/dev )
