I don't use rateup, I use MRTG with RRDTool.

I have rate about 300Mbps with drops about 40Mbps.
I use 64bit counters with ":::::2" in TARGET.
I know about 114Mbps problem, but with 64bit counters, when I measure
1 Gb Ethernet it is OK.
Problem is only with SUMMARIZED interfaces.

Same interfaces measured independently are good without drops.
