Utilities for Tracking Network Usage (by process, interface, etc.)

If I am to use the internet via a broadband wireless supplier (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) I need to keep control of how much data I use. Nethogs is a utility for doing so, on Linux (Ubuntu.) The web page contains references to still more utilities.

Ntop is a server that collects network interface statistics, but not by process. You communicate via a browser.
