[mrtg] Re: How much the result I got with MRTG is correct and howcan I verify them?

[Daniel J McDonald]

Cisco's "bits per second" number is an exponentially weighted average that
is biased towards current activity.  MRTG is reading the total bits moved
and dividing by 300.

in other words, they are completely different measures.
