Maybe we have some misunderstanding.

I don't want to see where goes the connection, I wanna understand what mean numbers in row (which framed orange on picture). This number is NOT the fanout of certain cell because of it presented in the next or previous rows.

For a huge variety of nets in project IC fanout is 1. Because of what fanout for this ICs is more than one?
