You may notice that the frequency drops when the bandwidth does. So it
occurs every time a certain volume of traffic has passed.
That suggests it is to do with 32-bit meters wrapping back to zero, and
MRTG mis-interpreting the new reading being less than the previous reading.

Possibly use 64-bit counters?

Also I think a fair bit of work has been done to determine the difference
between meter wrap, system reboot etc. Are you running a fairly recent copy
of MRTG?
