Measure bandwidth usage with Wireshark

Hello all,
I have a pcap capture file. This capture file reflects the traffic on my machine for a period of time. Is it possible to check how much bandwidth I used in average with Wireshark?

I use Comm View. Comm View and Wire Shark are both packet sniffers. I should think it would be inordinately difficult. You would have to assemble all the packets for one stream out of many packets and determine the total time and total volume of traffic. I do not know of a program that would do this. Someone might, but I do not. It is nor really the correct tool for measuring bandwidth.
