No, 128000000 is not 1000 Mbit/s, it is 1024 Mbit/s.

You told MRTG that the maximum can be 1024 Mbps.  You wonder why
you get values of upto 80 Mbps.  You know the interface speed is
1 Mbps.

I just wonder why you didn't set AbsMax to 1 Mbps (125000) and MaxBytes
to the CIR.

Counter roll-overs may be the cause of the spikes.  Other possibilities
include buggy software (MRTG or the SNMP agent on the device).
