Summary:
nsurlsessiond does networking operations on behalf of other processes, which makes it hard to tell what might cause it to be sending/receiving large amounts of data. Activity Monitor should be able to display a breakdown of the sent/received data by app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use something that utilises nsurlsessiond, eg, upload photo library to iCloud
2. Open Activity Monitor
3. Select Network tab
4. Sort by sent bytes

Expected Results:
Top result is Photos or a Photos agent.

Actual Results:
Top result is nsurlsessiond.

Version:
macOS 10.12 (16A201w)
