Well, I have an idea, In your client machine perform a lot of request to your server machine (if you're testing apache you would try ab)

while your client application is making requests run this command in your server machine, it'll determine how many connections are open in a time

while[ "1" = "1" ] ; do
  netstat -an | grep "ESTABLISHED" | wc -l
  sleep 1
done
