"MaxBytes" is the parameter to do 3 things.
1. set vertical axis
2. limits 'acceptable' data
3. be used as a basis for percentage calculations.

(1) can be ove-ruled with the "Unscaled" entry
(2) can be over-ruled with "AbsMax"

Sounds like your MaxBytes is too high. Note: that's MaxBYTES and not bits. 

1.5Mbps is Maxbytes of 187500
Then the values above 1.5 will be dropped and the graph will not adjust 
itself.


Bps -> bps
Use the "Option" 'bits' (default is bytes) Does not affect collection or 
calculations, just display.
