[mrtg] Re: Graph shows unreal drop in traffic

[Ed LaFrance]

...and if your switch does not have 64-bit counters, you can increase 
your polling frequency. I am currently running mrtg every three 
minutes against a particular switch with which I was having this 
problem, and I am now getting very accurate data without artificial 
drops. No configuration changes to mrtg are needed - you just grab 
data more frequently to avoid the wrap-around problem.
