Subject: Process level networking stats.

Hello,

I am interested in a relatively straight-forward way to know the tx/rx bytes
sent/received by a process.  I do not want to play tricks with packet capture,
and I want this to work for some arbitrary process like a web browser.

I wasn't able to find anything existing for this, though perhaps it exists
and I didn't find it.

If anyone has pointers to existing work in this area, please let me know.

And if not, then any suggestions for best way to go about implementing
this?  I assume I should start poking in net/socket.c, and perhaps directly
into ipv4, ipv6 socket logic with care not to count anything going over
localhost??

Thanks,
Ben
