+NetHogs is a small 'net top' tool. 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.
