ntop won't correlate with process ids but it will give you a breakdown 
on what types of traffic are flowing to and from a particular host.

for example it will tell you how much web traffic you are doing but 
won't be able to tell you how much is from firefox vs opera if you are 
running both on a machine at the same time.
