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.
