nethogs - Net top tool grouping bandwidth per process
SYNOPSIS¶
nethogs [
-d] [
-h] [
-p] [
-t] [
-V]
[device(s)]
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
Options¶
- -d
- delay for refresh rate.
- -h

- -p
- sniff in promiscious mode (not recommended).
- -t
- tracemode.
- -V
