If you have a capture at hand, open it in Ethereal. Possibly you'll have to
filter on the UDP port you're interested in (E.g., udp.port == 1234), if
your capture contains other traffic too. Then go to Analyze -> Summary, and
you'll get a summary of the overall traffic and of the filtered traffic (if
you filtered the capture).

You can also generate graphics with the Analyze -> Statistics -> IO ->
IO-stat where you can display the frames per tick, bytes per tick or even
more advanced stuff, and specify the tick interval (from 1 millisecond to 10
seconds).

Olivier

| Hello... 
| 	I'm hoping there's an obvious way to do this:  
| 	I have a client receiving a large amount of UDP traffic 
| on a single
| port.  I can run Ethereal on the client. Is there a 
| convenient way to report
| how much traffic hits that port in particular time 
| increments, seconds being
| the most convenient?   
| 	Thanks, I've been surfing the documentation, and this 
| doesn't *look* like an RTFM question...
