NETHOGS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual NETHOGS(8)

nethogs - Net top tool grouping bandwidth per process

nethogs [-h] [-V] [-d] [-v] [-t] [-c] [-p] [-s] [device(s)]

NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic down per protocol or per subnet, like most such tools do, it groups bandwidth by process - and does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded. So if there's suddenly a lot of network traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID is causing this, and if it's some kind of spinning process, kill it.

-h
display available commands usage.
-V
prints Version info.
-d
delay for refresh rate.
-v
select view mode
-p
sniff in promiscious mode (not recommended).
-t
tracemode.
-c

-s

device(s) to monitor. By default eth0 is being used.

m

r

s
