The command "bandwhich --addresses" is used to display the detailed information about network connections that are being used by various processes on your system.

When you execute the "bandwhich" command with the "--addresses" flag, it will show you a breakdown of bandwidth usage per process along with the respective source and destination IP addresses. It provides insights into which processes are utilizing network resources and the specific addresses they are communicating with.

This information can be helpful in identifying processes that may be consuming excessive network bandwidth or suspicious network connections that could be potentially harmful or unauthorized. It allows you to monitor and analyze network activity on your system in real-time, making it easier to troubleshoot network performance issues or monitor the behavior of specific applications.
