You can get a good + fast total connection count from /proc/slabinfo:

egrep '^(nf_conntrack_|ip_vs_conn)' /proc/slabinfo 

Look at column 2, the first column with numbers.

Compare the numbers to
cat /proc/sys/net/nf_conntrack_max 
cat /sys/module/ip_vs/parameters/conn_tab_bits 

The conntrack_max is a HARD limit of the number of conntracks the system
can have.

2^conn_tab_bits for IPVS is the size of the ipvs tracking table - I'm
not sure whether that is a hard limit, or just a hash bucket sizing
which permits chaining.

best regards
