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 |
