'lsof' tells you who's connected to what program
strace can tell you what's connected on what IP ports.
The linux 'netstat' command does produce a per connection (with
protocol) listing, not unlike 'lsof'.

There is also loads of information in the SMBD log files - and you can
turn up the debugging levels for more info.

This is without looking at /proc - I seem to remember there is a struct
in there for IPv4 and TCP connections...

How good are your scripting skills?
I think the info is all readily available, but you have to collate it.
