what does it mean?
It means that it's using the forking resolver, so it starts a number of resolver processes (using fork()) and communicates with them internally using a pipe. I'm afraid I don't have time at the moment to look into why it might leave processes around. In theory, the forking resolver should be pretty portable across UNIXs
maybe someone know the answer for the second question: 2) how to make iftop show bandwidth usage by ip address. so that it sum up all connections made from each ip in the network.
Does hiding either source or dest host not do what you want?
