[SOLVED] Top for network usage per process

[Alienation]

Hi,

I've looked around, but I cant find any tool that shows me how much bandwidth (or tcp/udp activity) process are using.

My ideal right now would be a top like utility, but toping network usage instead cpu usage.

Do you know any tool with this characteristics? I'm looking for a command line utility, but a graphical one would be also very nice.

Please post your solution or favorite tool.

Tnx!

Perhaps jnettop would be of help !

Thanks, but

Jnettop doesn't show the process name or process number. There are several tools like jnettop, but (as far as I could find) none of them shows which process or application is responsible for the traffic.

I agree that the process should be listed. But perhaps this can help: when you have the port number (eg 6666) on which the traffic is high, you can find out the process by:

lsof -Pni :6666


Did not find how to combine them into one - I'm not (yet ) a command line wizard.

Thanks, that might be helpful on some situations, there are also other ways to find out which process is using which ports. What would really be nice is a net usage by process first, then we could drill down to port usage if wanted.

I still didn't found a good way to get this in Linux, (in windows there are several utilities) I'm probably looking at it in the wrong way.

I wrote a tool intended to do just that a while ago, it's called 'nethogs' and can be found in most distro's as well as at nethogs.sf.net
