[mrtg] MRTG & ADSL?

[acewilli at aeromotor.windmill.net]

I am now monitoring port 106 on my router which is
where the ADSL traffic is coming in. Now do I need to set the Options to
absolute or gauge or leave them at the default? When I set it to absolute
it shows only incoming traffic but it seems to have the correct reading
but why doesn't the outgoing show? When I set it to default it show
incoming and outgoing but everything is in B/s not KB/s, and I know that
isn't correct for ADSL. I read the sample-mrtg.cfg file about the
absolute and gauge but the explanations were not enough for me to
understand exactly what they do. Can you answer this for me? Hopefully
this will be the last email that I have to send to you.


Thanks,
