<p class=MsoNormal>I’ve got a fairly complicated network with MPLS, VPNs
and Internet connections that I watch with MRTG, every thing seemed to be
working ok until I dove deeper into the raw data.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have both internet and MPLS going over the same physical
interface (using sub-ifs) so in theory my MRTG data for that interface should
be larger then what my MPLS provider is showing…problem is it’s
not, even after I convert MRTGs numbers from bytes to bits…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>MRTG Max Byte: 29435<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>MRTG Avg Byte: 10113<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>MPLS Provider Bit: 1241550<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas? I’m not sure if my MPLS provider is giving
me Max for that day or an average.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any ideas?<span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif";
