    How many bytes is a given process sending/receiving?

    Hello

    I searched around but could not find this out . . .
    Given a process number,
    how can I find out how many bytes it is receiving from/sending to network?

    I poked around and saw that netstat has "-p" argument that is supposed to print out process info, but it mostly returned blank data in that column. Besides, it did not report amount of bytes sent/received.

    Thank you for help in advance.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Normal tools won't do this. You need something in the realm of network traffic analysis, such as snort, to do this.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
