No, that's bandwidth. He asked for throughput. For that, take the
amount of data to pass and subtract the dropped packets/retransmits.
Then subtract that difference from the original size of the amount of
data that was transmitted and calculate the percentage of data that
needed to get through and calculate your percentage of throughput.

Question, why are you undertaking a class project requiring you to
capture statistics when you don't even know how to arrive at the
formula?

Seems you would have had that part of the project down pat before you
began attempting to implement a particular technology, IMHO.
