A backlog connection is a connection that is on its way from inactive to
active. Speaking in TCP language, a connection from which we've seen the
initial SYN packet, but the three-way handshake hasn't finished yet.
These connections are expected to move to active soon. When a
destination is overloaded or isn't able to successfully establish
connections for various reasons, this count increases quickly and is an
indication for a problem.
