Tool of the Day: NetHogs
NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. Instead of breaking the traffic
down per protocol or per subnet, like most tools do, it groups
bandwidth by process. NetHogs does not rely on a special
kernel module to be loaded. If there's suddenly a lot of network
traffic, you can fire up NetHogs and immediately see which PID
is causing this. This makes it easy to indentify programs that
have gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth.Since
NetHogs heavily relies on /proc, it currently runs on Linux only.
