Looking for alternatives to nethogs

Hello, I'm looking for a network monitor in the same vein as nethogs but with actual functionality, like the ability to control the connections it sees instead of merely being able to watch. Things like killing the PIDs of the connections, refusing connections and limiting the bandwidth usage of connections if there is nothing like this in one neat package then the best ways to refuse and limit connections one by one on the fly, any suggestions? Thanks as always.

Re: Looking for alternatives to nethogs

Thanks for the lists, however they all seem to be limited to visualising also.

If anyone is interested I did find trickle which handles the control/shaping side of things, so combine it with nethogs or any programs in the links above and you have what you need.
