is there an equivalent of iotop for network traffic?


There's some !"#/=??"#$%&/() process running on my machine that is sending traffic to TCP 631 from different ports all the time and I wanna know what process is doing it.... I'm wondering if there's something like iotop that could show per process network usage?

I saw iftop, nethogs and I couldn't find the process that was producing the traffic. Perhaps ntop could do the trick but seems like a little too much for what I want (so I didn't try to use it).

What's your take?

nethogs was close but I could only see a ? on the PID column (and I was running it with sudo)

Are you printing anything (that's the port for CUPS/IPP)? You can use netstat to see what is listening on 631:
Code:
netstat -tunape | grep 631 | grep -v grep
