Again, where do you view that in Ethereal?  There isn't, as far as I
know, anything to explicitly compute throughput for NFS-over-TCP, or for
NFS at all.

Are you thinking of, for example, the statistics from the "Summary" item
in the "Tools" menu?  If so, note that those statistics are for the
capture as a whole, not, for example, for the filtered packets.  (The
only statistic that reflects the filtered packets is the filtered packet
count.)

There's nothing about TCP and UDP that would obviously make the answer
different for protocols running atop them.
