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 indentify programs that have gone wild and are suddenly taking up your bandwidth. NetHogs does not rely on a special kernel module to be loaded.

Nethogs monitors traffic going to/from a machine, per process. Other tools rather monitor what kind of traffic travels to, from or through a machine, etcetera. I'll try to link to such tools here. By all means open an issue/PR if you know another:
* [nettop](http://srparish.net/scripts/) shows packet types, sorts by either size or number of packets.
* [ettercap](http://ettercap.sf.net/) is a network sniffer/interceptor/logger for ethernet
* [darkstat](http://purl.org/net/darkstat/) breaks down traffic by host, protocol, etc. Geared towards analysing traffic gathered over a longer period, rather than `live' viewing.
* [iftop](http://ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/) shows network traffic by service and host
* [ifstat](http://gael.roualland.free.fr/ifstat/) shows network traffic by interface in a vmstat/iostat-like manner
* [BusyTasks](http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=143833) KDE Plasmoid script using nethogs as a backend
