Hi,

You can do that with Ethereal, by using IO stats, but it's probably not
the best way to do it -Ethereal is more focused on detailed analysis
of packets and flows, not on overall statistics-. Fow Windows, Show Traffic, 
which you can find at http://sourceforge.net/projects/showtraf , might 
be helpful. It says it came from a linux program named traffshow, so
you might use that also; it depends on which platform you are using. If you
need something more powerful -and more complex-, you can use ntop, at
http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html.

Regards,
 Francisco
