Whois lookup and network bandwidth #75

I have just been using your network monitor app to look at the network connections from my Android phone and get an idea of what is going on at that level. I found it useful, but had a couple of ideas for new features.

One is to add whois lookup for the IP addresses and domain names reported by the app, so that people don't need to use an external program to do this. (Not hard to do but it would save users the trouble).

The other is that it would be useful to get an idea of how much network bandwidth is being used by each connection and each app, over the time the monitor has been running. This would give people an idea of what kind of traffic could possibly be being transferred over each connection (e.g. text versus voice versus video etc.).
