About:
Bandwhich is a terminal bandwidth utilization tool that monitors network traffic by process, connection, and remote IP address. It provides real-time visibility into which applications are consuming bandwidth and how much data they are sending or receiving. This helps users diagnose network issues and understand resource usage without leaving the command line.

Key Features:

Real-time network monitoring with per-process breakdown
Displays connections by remote IP and port
Clean, interactive terminal UI
Supports DNS resolution for remote addresses
Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows

Use Cases:

Diagnosing which process is saturating your network connection
Monitoring bandwidth usage of containers or long-running services
Auditing unexpected outbound connections for security insights

Alternatives:

nethogs – Similar per-process monitoring; older interface and fewer features.
iftop – Shows connections by interface but not by process.
nload – Interface-level throughput graphs; no per-process breakdown.
