network hogs

[Michael Murphy_2]

Hello - quick question - is there a way to get a list of processes - sorted by network usage? (sort of like top does for cpu usage - except maybe packets sent/received?) I think some processes are hogging the network bandwidth - but have no proof. Thanks

Hello Mike,

you can start with "lsof" to give some ideas to narrow down which process are hoogging

You can narrow your search by specifying a particular port, service, or host name using techniques such as:

lsof â i :587


lsof â i :smtp


lsof â i @abc.remote.au

I doubt if there is anything in HPUX to check the process which is taking more network, there may be some 3rd party tools I am not aware though.

Well you can see various info with netstat,lsof and glance, It may not help u in getting the exact cause.
