sort/group by processes

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Hi.

I'd like to see the following feature...
Sorting and especially grouping by processes.

i.e. something like top, that shows me in/out traffic (packets, bytes, 
errors, etc.).
Either sorted as a summarising counter since "start".... or per time 
frame.

Cheers,
Chris.

I don't understand. you wanna see, which process has open socket?

Ok let me see whether I can describe it better:

Right now data is collected (and then sorted like this):

We have one entry for each SRC:port - DST:port connection,... right?
And AFAIU, each entry just sums up.

Now the following would be nice:
a) Add another counting mode, where not totals are summed up, but
packets/bytes per time frame are measured (thereby making it more like
the top utility).

b) Add (for both of these counting modes) another grouping mode, i.e.
packets/bytes are not counted per connection (SRC:port - DST:port) but
per process.

E.g. If you imagine a webbrowser, I'd like to have a mode where I don't
see the single connections from it to different addresses, but the total
traffic generated by the process.

Clear? :)

Cheers,
Chris.
