"Data rate" in what sense? The speed of the link layer is not stored in a tcpdump file - e.g., there is no indication of whether a PPP link is a 56K dialup line or PPP running over a T1 or faster link. However, a program could compute the average number of bytes/second in the capture, under the assumption that 1) all the packets on the link were captured - which isn't necessarily the case on, say, a switched Ethernet; 2) all the data in the packet was captured - which means that tcpdump was run with a "-s" argument large enough to capture all the data. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
