On my Ubuntu 11.04 install on laptop (amd64 arch) as well as desktop (x86
arch) on the office wired LAN (Intranet, not connected to internet), there
is a constant 6-15 kilobytes/second data down happening. The LAN works
normally at all times, but even with no activity this data down is running.
I checked with internet connected wifi on laptop and a USB dongle on both,
but there was no such data transfer in idle conditions. It doesn't happen
when on Windows 7.
Is there a tool to find out which port or software is taking this data? I
tried netstat but couldn't make a headway. Searched on ubuntuforums but
found nothing close enough. Can somebody please guide me how to go about it.
