Check it yourself.  Just after MRTG ran, view the 1st few lines of the
log file.  Wait until the next run. View the lines again.

Calculate the 3 deltas (subtract the numbers).  Divide the delta of the
2nd column by the delta of the 1st column.  The outcome is your rate.
Compare this rate to your MaxBytes setting.

cheers,
