Network utilisation executing a stored procedure

How can I estimate the local area network utilisation involved in remotely executing a simple SQL Server Stored Procedure ?

I have a windows application that uses ADO to execute a stored procedure on a Microsoft SQL Server 2005 database server.
The stored procedure is simple and returns a single result in an  integer output parameter.

I am executing this procedure every 10 seconds and have been asked to estimate the "network utilisation".  There are no input parameters to the stored procedure. I will be answering the question as "virtually no network utilisation" but I anticipate being asked how to justify this statement.

Any idea what the default TCP ports are for executing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Stored procedures ?
Hi Steve,
I used Wire-Shark to capture on TCP port 1433 and found that once the ADO connection had been established,  the total exchange of data for the remote execution of the stored procedure amounted to 237 bytes.

Thanks for your comments.
