Hi

This may be know to many however I just discovered it today.  Many a days I
use to see my Switch blink which states that data transfer is going on
however I did not know which program was actually sending it, all that I
use to do was to type in netstat -antulp to know what are the established
connections.

Today I discovered that nethogs will show exactly what I wanted (i.e) group
the process which are currently active and which are transmitting over the
Ethernet\wireless.

#apt-get install nethogs
You need to start nethogs as root

#nethogs <eth0/eth1>
