These numbers signify the highest count the server has had at any time since it was last rebooted.
The total number of client connections includes all users and operators on the server.
The total number of connections includes users and operators as well, but also includes server-to-server connections.
Advanced
If you subtract the second number from the first, you will get the highest count of server-to-server connections. For many servers, this will only be one. However, servers that host services or that are hubs will have higher counts. |
| Variations |
On some servers (such as many EFnet servers) this will not be returned for any reason. Instead, replies 265 and 266 are sent on connection. |
