That's a crazy idea.
If you were to trundle through the tcpdump output you'd have to
reassemble the packets.
Although you could just look for the UserAgent string, it's kinda
pointless as I might be looking at some TCP dump output via HTTP, which
would spoil your graphing.
What's better is to setup a transparent proxy at the gateway, possibly
using squid, this way the proxy gets the HTTP headers, then does what's
required for your stats.
You could easily configure the logging for this.
