Ah, noticed you said "numerically", in which case you may have been looking for something more like this:

From a command-line,
"tethereal -r filename.cap -R unmatched.display.filter -z io,stat,1"

where "filename.cap" is the trace file that you want to generate statistics from, "unmatched.display.filter" is a display filter that no frame in the trace (this is to supress the decoding of packets and display only statistics. I never work with Token Ring, so I usually use "-R tr" here), and "1", in this case, is the amount of time, in seconds, of each sample.

In this case, tethereal will generate a set of bytes/sec and frames/sec statistics that I can parse, import into and manipulate with Excel/OpenOffice Spreadsheet, etc.

You can find more information about statistics generation with tethereal in the tethereal man page.

If this isn't what you're looking for, can you provide more details on what you're trying to do?

Go to Tools->Statistics->IO->IOStat
Change Frames/Tick to Bytes/Tick
Change Tick Interval to the interval that you want.

Hi
I was wondering if Ethereal can display the throughput statistics,like the number of bytes that are transferred per second numerically.
Please let me know how if it can do it.
Thank you
