[mrtg] Measuring packet bytes or data?...

[Shpend Bakalli]

One thing is unclear to me...
Is MRTG measuring data flow in the network (bytes in packets), or data
that is arriving in the destination (uncompressed etc...). Maybe I'm not
so clear in my question... in other words, if a packet holds 5000 bytes
in compressed form (which is the real bandwith consumption) and the
uncompressed packet has 20.000 bytes, which is the value measured by
MRTG?
