> Can anyone tell me how Ethereal calculates the transmission speed?

If, by "average transmission speed" you mean the "Avg. bytes/sec" value
in the summary dialog box, it's the sum of the sizes of all of the
packets, in bytes, divided by the time, in seconds, between the time
stamp of the first packet and the time stamp of the last packet.
