Are there any tools out there that can breakdown network traffic by the originating process? Sometimes it would be useful to see exactly which process is monopolising bandwidth like we can with CPU time.

Creator of Sniffnet here.
Adding processes IDs is one of the features I'd like to implement in the next months!

#25This is probably really obtuse of me, but how is this different than tcpdump?
Indeed it's not better than tcpdump, wireshark, ntop, nethogs and many others.

#26Is there a good tool for detailed monitoring like this that runs atop OpenWRT w/ minimal perf impact? It's something I've been meaning to revisit but it keeps getting put off, any recommendations?

netatop can show per process/thread data - https://www.atoptool.nl/netatop.php

#28What would be the difference versus wireshark?

#29Can I use it to monitor traffic in a LAN? like doing port mirroring on the switch?
