None really.  For dedicated MRTG box w/ small amounts of devices, rrd and
14all are just added unneeded overhead.  Only reason I would still suggest
it is RRD allows for future growth, good experience on getting it up and
doing what you want, and Toby I believe has stated MRTG 3.0 will be based on
RRD so might as well get use to it :)

Not sure

Yep
