Number of successful connection attempts

Description

This is the number of times a TCP connection to this IP address was successfully established during this session. Unless there are connection problems, this number should always be ‘1’. Higher values indicate intermittent communication problems.

Note that for outgoing TCP connections, if no activity occurs on a TCP connection for five minutes, the TCP connection is closed and the diagnostic node for the IP address is removed. This effectively clears the diagnostics counters. When activity resumes on the TCP connection, the diagnostic node is created again. Therefore, these counters provide diagnostics only for the current active "session."
