On occasion I see my bandwidth usage using gnome-system-monitor going up to 300kbit/s. I just can't figure out what is causing it. I want to know what process or program in using my network like that?
I do ssh into different machines and servers, where I would really like to be able to monitor bandwidth usage. It would be very useful to know which utilities people use to see what bandwidth is being used and by which applications / programs / processes / or threads. I don't even know where to start looking.
The two small programs I have found are insufficient. bmon and bwm-ng And tools like wireshark (packet sniffers) are overkill. I would like something in the middle, preferably text console-based.
