A while ago I did a SystemTap script to solve a problem similar to
this. It's been siting in my system for a while collecting dust and you
currently don't need the embedded C code since the networking.stp tapset
has all this script needs(and more), but I should point you in the right
direction.

This worked a couple of months ago but it is currently untested. Hope
it helps.

-JRS


global ifstats, ifdevs, execname

%{
#include<linux/skbuff.h>
#include<linux/netdevice.h>
%}

probe kernel.function("dev_queue_xmit")
{
execname[pid()] = execname()
name=skb_to_name($skb)
ifdevs[name] = name
ifstats[pid(),name] <<< 1
}

function skb_to_name:string (skbuff:long)
%{
struct sk_buff *skbuff = (struct sk_buff *)((long)THIS->skbuff);
struct net_device *netdev = skbuff->dev;
sprintf (THIS->__retvalue, "%s" , netdev->name);
%}

probe timer.ms(5000)
{
exit()
}

probe end {
foreach( pid in execname) {
if (pid == 0) continue
printf("%15s[%5d] ->\t", execname[pid],pid)
foreach( ifname in ifdevs) {
printf("[%s:%7d] \t", ifname,
@count(ifstats[pid, ifname]))
}
print("\n")
}
print("\n")
}
