can anyone please tell me how to calculate the bandwidth utilised by a packet?
It's urgent.

Well, in order to calculate it completely, you need to look at Ethernet, IP and TCP header sizes, and any eventual padding. The sizes of these will always be fairly predictable. You can find packet sizes on the wikipedia pages for these protocols. Typically, you see 54 bytes of Ethernet/IP/TCP headers all in all in a normal TCP/IP packet, such as an HTTP request. Anything beyond this would be the payload, (that is, the actual data sent) which should be known to you already.
If you want to see it up close, get a packet sniffer such as Ethereal, and capture a few packets for you to examine.
