Name of the file is /proc/net/tcp From that file I can monitor but is there any file like that in windows so that I can monitor TCP data from that file.

It seems JMX is just what you need. You did not specify what precise information you need, but there are lots of ready-to-use statistics provided by the JVM, including file descriptor usage. You might want to explore it with JConsole first - here is an introduction to JConsole from Oracle.

Edit: while there does not seem to be any standard way to obtain precisely TCP connections count, there is a linux-specific way to get total number of open file descriptors: OperatingSystem.OpenFileDescriptorCount property.

you can use the netstat command. You can execute this command from java by using RunTime class

        { 
            Process p=Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c netstat"); 
            p.waitFor(); 
            BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(
                new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream())
            ); 
            String line=reader.readLine(); 
            while(line!=null) 
            { 
                System.out.println(line); 
                line=reader.readLine(); 
            } 

        }
