I'm basically looking for a utility that displays which processes are using how much bandwidth, similar to how top displays which processes use how much resources.

I see last update was 2005, and that's worrying. Why do you recommend it? Why use it instead of alternatives? – tshepang Nov 23 '10 at 9:30

1Simple to install, simple to use and useful. I started using it about 10 years ago, and never needed a replacement. I am still using it. Netstat shows you just a snapshot (like ps for processes), ntop gives you something like top for the network ... I don't know about NetHogs. You also can use lsof to see which process uses which port if you need. – Patkos Csaba Nov 24 '10 at 15:02
netstat can give you usage statistics on a per socket basis.

What command do you use to get usage statistics on a per socket basis? Can you get usage on a per-process basis? – tshepang Mar 1 '11 at 12:18
You can get stats from netstat via the -s flag, and per-process from the -p flag.
