    mrtg doesn't know anything about math (at least, from the
    user side to alter it ;). To my knowledge you have two
    options: Either you make sure your data get's already into
    mrtg with the right values (mean / mean square) by means of a
    externel script you call via your snmpd which does the calc.

    Or you could use rrdtool which can take stored data from and
    rrd and do some math post-processing in rpn (but you've to
    read the tuts and docs to get what this is about).
