How To Monitor Bandwidth Usage Per Application Process and Thread
Articles, IT-Tips, Linux Add commentsTypically, a linux bandwidth monitoring software measures and graphs internet bandwidth consumptions. These bandwidth consumptions are then grouped and classified to different types of usage views. Usage views of bandwidth graphs are then presented on a wide variety of presentation types, depending on bandwidth monitoring features. These can be per hosts, IP address, subnet network, protocols and IP services and the list goes on.
Introducing NetHogs
Nethogs does the same job of monitoring internet bandwidth consumption. Instead of grouping the bandwidth usage by protocols or network block, nethogs groups the usage per software process, or process threads. Another good things about nethogs is that it does not need any special kernel modules to be loaded before it can do its functions.
Now, here’s a quick post on how to monitor internet bandwidth usage based on application process.
Monitor Bandwidth Usage of Software by Process
NetHog Installation
# yum -y install nethogs
So, in order to identify which process ID (PIDS) that causes internet latency to your internet connection, you can fireup nethog to monitor you internet usage by process ID and immediately identify which process thread is taking too much internet consumption and bursting out too much internet traffic with your internet connection.
Nethogs presents internet bandwidth usage much like a top or htop in terminal mode.

Hey, I’m a newest one here of cause, but… Did you ever think that we could look for the circumstances, which lead to actual financial situation in the word, in the root of the global warming? Possibly, negative energy of people conglomerates, generating one more manifestation of nature, which rise against mankind? This time Nature powers got its purpose. Isn’t it?
