[mrtg] Re: MRTG not reflecting true interface usage

[tony bourke]

32 bit counters strikes again!

In a 5 minute interval, no SNMP program (MRTG, RRDTool, or anything else)
can measure traffic greater than 115 Mbps because of the rollover problem.
You're only solution is to use 64-bit counters.  You can specifiy this in
the config by using SNMPv2 I believe.
