We do this by iteratively taking the output of flow-stat -f0,
grabbing the "Average kbits/sec" line, and putting the data
in whatever output form you want.

Something along the lines of:

  flow-cat -a $FILE | flow-nfilter -f$FILTERFILE -F$FILTERDEF |
  flow-stat -f0 > $OUTPUTFILE

embedded in a perl script which then gets the bandwidth/sec info
