+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.

+Depends on libcap, available at SlackBuilds.org
