TCP connections, bytes ingress/egress -- what do these mean?

[squaremo]

It's not clear what "TCP connections" corresponds to (sometimes it's in the hundreds, not sure why).
Bytes ingress and egress appear to always be zero.

"TCP connections" indeed represents the number of TCP connections that are attached to the thing you've clicked on. More specifically, it's the maximum number of observed TCP connections for every core node that composes the rendered node. Can you think of a better way to express that? "Active TCP connections"?

Bytes ingress and egress are indeed always zero (for now) and will be hidden in an upcoming point release.

Hmm, well I guess the numbers were surprising then, so perhaps the lesson is that being able to find out what those connections represent would be useful.

Oh OK. I can imagine those being quite useful -- "not done yet" is an understandable answer though.

Filed #158 for that enhancement.
