+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 identify programs that have
+gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth.")
