Are you wanting connections to all ports? If so you will want to track netstat , specifically something like netstat -s. You can get the active connections however you really would want tot rack the established connections over a period of time. It would probably be easier for you just to install a graphing system like cacti or munin and visualize it over a period of a few weeks that way you can take peaks into account. Munin for example I know has a netstat plugin by default which tracks the established connection count from netstat -s.
