nethogs is used to monitor network traffic. You can see which processes use the most bandwidth and hogs the network.

Installtion on debian:

apt-get install nethogs

You can give the nethogs a network interface to see what's going on under the hood:

nethogs eth0

The output would something like:

PID USER       PROGRAM                                                       DEV        SENT      RECEIVED

When nethogs is open, you can press r in order to sort based on RECEIVED or press s to sort based on SENT packets. To change the mode that it is shown for KB/sec press m multiple times and see the output.
