Larry,

There are lots of stats available from tethereal, so it is hard to give
a specific answer. The most basic stats are those from the "-z
io,stats," option. The simple command " ./tethereal -R null -z
io,stat,1" will give results like

===================================================================
IO Statistics
Interval: 1.000 secs
Column #0:
                |   Column #0
Time            |frames|  bytes
000.000-001.000       3       256
001.000-002.000       1        62
002.000-003.000       2       122
003.000-004.000       1        60
004.000-005.000       4       244
===================================================================

Depending on your skill, you could produce a script to munge this output
and create the approriate graph input file.

Stats available with the -z option include

 -z argument must be one of :
    wsp,stat,
    http,tree
    http_req,tree
    plen,tree
    ptype,tree
    isup_msg,tree
    dests,tree
    ip_hosts,tree
    http_srv,tree
    smb,rtt
    smb,sids
    sip,stat
    sctp,stat
    rpc,programs
    rpc,rtt,
    io,phs
    proto,colinfo,
    mgcp,rtd
    conv,
    io,stat,
    http,stat,
    h225,srt
    h225,counter
    gsm_a,
    dcerpc,rtt,
    bootp,stat,
    ansi_a,



You might want to refer to some work I published a few years ago -
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200305/msg00128.html (The
example piccie and code is near the bottom of the posting). I haven't
done a whole lot more on this since unfortunately.
