This is not a trivial problem.

You will need:
  • A good study of the tcpdump man page for the display format of the tcpdump file.
  • A reasonable knowledge of regular expressions to parse the file
  • Knowledge of a script language like awk, perl, python or ruby to produce the stats.

I wouldn't try using tcpdump to analyze the packet capture to get the data you want. I'd try using something like argus. Perhaps there is a better tool out there though.
