This function returns the number of children connected to the current parent. What is calculated as "the number of connected children" equals all the children changed to the state MB_COMM_PSTATE_REQ_ACCEPTED until they change to the state MB_COMM_PSTATE_DISCONNECTED.
Note the approximately four second delay before the parent detects an unexpected end of communication with a child and changes the state to MB_COMM_PSTATE_DISCONNECTED.
